Sitar

Yeah, yeah.

Sitar.

No. You're going way more Indian.

No.

Well, there's a lot of that on Heart Full of Soul.

And there's also Sitar, but it's not a Sitar.

It's Jeff's guitar.

And, you know, and so it has a little Norwegian wood sound, but all that, you know, it predated all those socks, which is, like I said, it's going to be kind of a theme as we continue to talk to about Jeff's influence.

This is Dr Ambedkar in 1948 in the constitutional assembly.

There are several people who have said that I came to listen to the Veena and the Sitar, but I got an English bandwadyam.

So Dr. Swami, the point here is, I can quote, I have quoted several of them in my book, but this is just to get you a flavor.

What is the issue? The issue, I think, on 15th August, 1947, when we were all children and we used to go to movies, we saw the grainy footage of Pandit Nehru speaking in his baritone.

Yeah.

Which of the following instruments does she not play? And your options are sitar, auto harp, banjo, penny whistle.

Sitar.

The sitar.

Yeah, that's right.

All the

rest of those are more like accolades.

Sitar is like an Indian instrument.

Which also then led to George Harrison's lifelong obsession with India and Hare Krishna and all the Buddhism.

So, without this film, we wouldn't have got George Harrison on the sitar.

I was going to say, sitar? Sitar.

That's it,

yeah.

Well, welcome to Reasonable Doubt.

And just like I did with Tenny and Sitar a couple of weeks ago, we've had overwhelming interest this week from everywhere, at least in my world, on the East Coast, West Coast trials that are going on.

Obviously, Clancy and Lauren Conlon, who's a friend of the show, who's been reporting on that, and the jury's out.

And then a newbie, but quite a keeper, Taylor from L.A. MAG, who has been reporting on the Little Dirk trial here on the West Coast.

Got to Get You Into My Life, Paul McCartney's Ode to Marijuana.

Tomorrow Never Knows, Psychedelic Beatles, Rock with Sitar and Lots of Tape Looping.

And it's a really cool song to listen to.

Ringo's drumming is just as important to this song as anything else.

Yeah, when you had one guy with a, an Indian-

We had sitar players-

Sitar player, didn't you?

... guesting with us.

Yeah, yeah.
