We've been working feverishly since 2nd November on a special song for Children's Day. Sequencing and the English lyrcis were ready surprisingly quickly. But when we got in touch with Deepak to get that special child who could sing, we were disappointed. All the sweet voices he was recommending were busy with exams. For a while it looked bleak. And we knew this time around, we wanted to talk to radio stations well in advance.
We were looking for a child in his or her early teens. So the idea of getting our son, 7 year old Tejas never crossed our mind. But he was the only child around. Tejas was game, he was only worried he wasn't 14 or 15 as I kept asking Deepak for a child of that age.
He sounds utterly right for the song. We took English and Bageshree kept sending in the Kannada version in 3 segments even as we started recording. But Tejas was very tired. So we packed up and came back the next day for the Kannada version.
Radio Indigo was wonderful and is all set to play the English version which we always meant for them to play. Look out, more on this and other things in a while
Anurag recorded a rock feel song today. He will continue for another 2 days. Meanwhile we need to wrap up Ninna Nenapu. Ram will need to spend a good bit of time on that.
Shridhar Murthy came by, cracked his usual quota of wisecracks, had us in splits and left after lunch yesterday. Also happened to be our UPS maintenance day!
