I love this story told by Ali Akbar Khan

The site says that this traditional Indian Story is told by Ali Akbar Khan. I guess it is the same Indian Musician I am thinking of. By the way, I heard Ali Akbar Khan many years ago when he did a performance at Principia College in Elsah Illinois. Might have been around 1975. My brother had some recordings of his that I heard sometime in the seventies too. They had to fade them in and out on the records because this sort of improvisation goes on for hours, as a kind of meditation.
