Dil tadap tadap : Devansh

We have seen Devansh growing up and maturing as a musician. And all of us give credit to his parents for promoting his interest in different musical instruments.

This was His first acid test of playing keyboard and providing the rhythm to the members in a public performance.

And he did it successfully just like this song he played.....

Dum maro dum : Mihir Chalishazar

Ladies and gentlemen hold your breath, we are introducing our young member Mihir Chalishazar.

Mihir influenced by Aditya, his elder brother, wanted to be a percussionist.

He has been given the duty to arrange the songs, their karaoke tracks, make list of the participants and play accordingly in the program.

Slowly but steadily he is getting into real hard job- playing harmonica...

Please enjoy !!!

Chho kar sab ke man ko : Bansi Gujjar

Bansikaka a very very large hearted person in the HCG, played this song.

One of the most dedicated members of the club...........

On every Sunday, all of us wait for Bansikaka to come with his water bag, the water that he brings is very motivating and energetic.

Next Sunday we will be practicing in Parimal at 9:30 AM...Please reach early, Bansikaka just called me and informed that he has replaced his big size water bag with a very small one ;-)

Hai Apna Dil To Awara

Sandip Patankar, Chandramohan Bahadkar and Manohar Vaidya, played this all time favorite song.

Immediately after the first song Jaya Stute, the trustees of the Vanikar Hall , arranged a short Pooja. We offered flowers at the lotus feet of Lord Ganesha and Maa Saraswati.

Vanikar Hall is located in the center of Ahmedabad. This area is known for the Lord Ganesha Temple.

Jaya Stute

Sandip Patankar, also known as Ice cream uncle, started the program with a marathi song Jaya Stute. This song was sung by Lata Mangeshkar.

All the members of HCG specially thank Devansh for the extra ordinary support on key board. He accompanied by playing the chords and soft rhythm.

sweet memories

We the members of HCG were fortunate to have two celebrities during our practice session at Chakshul Pandya's house.

Shri Madan kumarji and Nitinbhai Patel from UK. Nitinbhai with his professional camera captured a few unforgettable moments.

Aasmaan Pe Hai Khuda Aur Zameen Pe Hum

Veteran harmonica player Manohar Vaidya is a treasure trove of old Hindi movie songs. He not only plays the main song but also its prelude and interlude music. Here is a popular song sung by Mukesh which he played during the Sunday practice session of the Harmonica Club of Gujarat.

Zindagi Ek Safar Hai Suhana - Madankumar’s Harmonica

I have digitised Mouth Organ Maestro Madankumar’s first LP on my PC.

A London based professional photographer/Harmonica player Mr. Nitinbhai Patel took some photos of Madankumar while he was in Ahmedabad in Jan 2011.  To create this upload, I have used some of his photos and Madankumar’s  Harmonica tune from his first LP released in 1972.

Pujya Swami Adhyatmanandji

In IIMM, after listening to our members Sandip Patankar and Manohar Vaidya, play 'e malik tere bande hum', Swamiji asked them to play saavare salone. We were all surprised, when Sandip Patankar told us that swamiji himself started singing along with the mouth organ ambassadors.

' I am taken 50 years back, as My very close friend Solomon used to play this song for me ' said Swami Adhyatmanandji...
