The commercial interruptions on the videoe remind of fashion secular discussions by our extremely brilliant Su-Ch scholars.

Viziayanagaram was a great educational center. Those days, to be a lecturer in Maharaja college was more prestigious than being a professor at AU. I didn't know that Ghantasala was associated with Vizianagaram (he was from a small village near Gudivada, Krishna dist). Also, I didn't know that Pinakapani was associated with Vizianagaram. Vaalladi Srikakulam (Sreekoormam?).

Yes, Ghantasala and Sushila were both products of Vizianagaram music college. Ghantasala's native place may be in Krishna Dt., but he learned music formally at Vizianagaram (he was poor, and the college charged no fees). Pinakapani's native place is Srikakulam (Priya Agraharam), and he first learned music in Rajahmundry, and later polished his music in Vizianagaram under Dwaram Venkatasawmy Naidu.
