Ihave heard him playing keyboard and heard his songs in 70s.""There is a sort of politics in music also. It hasbeen there forever. But people do not know this. In everyfield, there is politics and good and bad things," he said.The book is based on the sarod maestro's memories ofhis father Hafiz Khan, who passed away in 1972, and includesanecdotes and narrations from a diary he wrote.It dwells on the life and times of his father, givinga glimpse of the guru-shishya parampara (teacher-discipletradition) in Indian classical music and also has some rarephotographs dating back to 1930s.
