Morning Music
You should go, and download Pt. Jasraj's explorations into the country of Raga Todi, a moody morning raga that has been giving me company as I read through W.G. Sebald's strange novel "The Emigrants"* this morning, sitting next to a window.
* A lovely word (and more suitable than "immigrants" I think) for some people who measure time not from since when they had arrived someplace from elsewhere but from when they had left that "elsewhere". I am, then, an emigrant to Ondaatje-land from Whitman-land.
