If I am not mistaken, Duke was talking NOT to the audience but to other musicians about what to look for in music. That's why Duke also said, ""The most important thing I look for in a musician is whether he knows how to listen.? Else, Duke's quotation might, in our case, place irrepressible Dhiraj Rai way ahead of Ambar Gurung :-) **** Moreover, Anup, In future, you might also want to talk about the effects of instruments of modernism such as MTV, Channel V and so on have on Nepali music. Music videos have become sine qua non for marketing purposes. The cost of making, producing and distributing music is going up and up. Also, music piracy remains a big issue in Nepal. oohi ashu
