Q. What memories do you have of the music scene in Mumbai (Bombay) of the 1970s, from your days as a drummer with Human Bondage?
A. It was a time when bands, musicians and listeners were hungry for music from the West, since it wasn’t so accessible as now. Both, records and music instruments, were hard to come by. Today, everyone can listen to any amount of music on iTunes or watch YouTube videos. Also, instruments are easily available. I think audiences in the 1970s were more into live performances.
