Harish Palaniappan's

Popular Singer of India, someone hailed "Swami of Melody", Adnan Sami, is not a new person in the music world... atleast for Indian Viewers. He seems to have a passion for different sounds, tones, and music from thought, more than the passion he is known to have.. for playing The Piano.

As a boy, he caught everyone's attention when he performed the piano, for the speed at which he moved his fingers on the piano, and the clarity with which he could manage the speed. He was hailed the fasted piano player in the world.. and if I am right, this is recorded by the Limca book of world records.. after which adnan's popularity index grew steeply.

While "fastest" didn't leave him though.. he has received that appreciation in almost anything he did.. related to music. Be it his fast rise to an achiever and one of the top music composers in India, or be it his fast selling albums.

This day, he is well recognized in the music world as one of the best musicians. His obese look though explains how many hours days and year, he would have spent sitting at the piano practizing without burning much calories.

I enjoyed hearing adnan play at a Tsunami fund raiser show today (though I heard it on a TV), pulling out a good song for the show. I enjoyed more so, watching him dance and express himself on the stage with his hands and legs kind of anecdoting every sound just a fraction before it was played.

I admire adnan as some kind of a distant motivation for me to learn to play guitar that I got myself almost an year back but a'int able to make any useful sound of it still. I am motivated adanan. Thanks! :o)
