Appreciation and Biography I believe I first heard of the passing of Pandit Nikhil Banerjee in early when the announcement came during the introduction of the regular weekly programme London Sounds Eastern on BBC Radio London, a regular Sunday evening programme of Indian Classical Music. I was shocked. The only artist's death with the same impact on me had been Buddy Holly's, twenty seven years earlier. Just short of being a teenager, while delivering newspapers on a chilly winter morning I had been stopped in my tracks, stunned by the front page news of the plane crash.
