I introduced Ganoba-ji to a student of mine, Apoorva. Ganoba-ji would’ve loved her, as he does all. :) I asked her to send me a piece of her beautiful music that she made, so that it could be played for Ganoba-ji; this is what Apoorva returned:
"But when I say he will rest in peace, I say it with confidence. I'm so happy he's touched your lives so profoundly, and even though I only knew him tangentially I can imagine his light and kindness. This piece, Syrinx by Debussy, is for flute alone -- it's at once poignant and petulant and mysterious and whimsical and most of all, profound. It's the story of the god Pan waking up from slumber, finding himself in a forest, and falling in love.â€
