The losses keep mounting in the entertainment field. This time, we've lost master Indian sitarist Ravi Shankar, who introduced his instrument to Western audiences through tutoring George Harrison and Brian Jones in the 1960s. He passed away yesterday at his home in La Jolla, near San Diego, at the age of 92.

"I think honesty is of the first, utmost importance in art... any art. After that comes technique and... after that comes talent. Honesty is first. All the rest of the things are important, too, but they're secondary. Without honesty, I don't care how much technique you have, you have nothing."--Linda Ronstadt

RIP - a real musician
