Palace musicians!

The musician playing Algoza in a balcony outside my room...

Gone is the era when there were real palaces with real kings and queens who would spend time together enjoying musicians playing live music in their beautiful palaces. The royalty has gone, but the musicians and their eternal music lives on.

For the weekend I have a couple of images of an amazing shehnai player whose beautiful music woke me up last weekend after a very relaxed sleep...
