A rare honour for Indian musician

Special Correspondent

JAIPUR: Noted musician and Grammy Award winner Vishwa Mohan Bhatt has been featured in the Eric Clapton Crossroads Guitar Festival DVD launched all over the world recently. Bhatt had performed at the festival in Dallas, U.S., in June last year.

The event had brought together the world's top rock, blues, country, jazz and folk guitarists including the legendary Eric Clapton. The proceeds of the festival were used for funding financial assistance programmes for the patients in need of residential treatment at the Crossroads Centre at Antigua in West Indies as well as for the construction of a new Education Centre there.

Mr. Bhatt, who shot to fame by converting the Hawaiian guitar into Mohan Veena, said here on Wednesday that the two-disc set had brought live over four hours of scintillating performance of leading guitarists. Over 40,000 music enthusiasts had converged in Dallas to witness the historic musical event and support the Crossroads Centre.
