Karthick on Indian percussion.
The interview originally aired live on Hopper's Liquid Sound Lounge radio show that airs Saturday nights on WBAI99.5fm from 7-10pm. Musical selections from Limelight heard throughout the interview include Blues For Joe, Limelight, Go India Go, Prelude to a Prelude, Maiden Voyage and January 15th.
