Pendyala garu was gem of a man personally too. We invited him to perform in Bombay on behalf of Telugu Sahitya Samiti back in 1981 at the Shanmukhananda Hall. I was fortunate enough to play sitar interludes (M.L.Narasimham sang) for siva sankari song. Pendyala garu was highly impressed even as I was overwhelmed by his talent and humility.
