The gramophone brigade
Jalandhar, July 17
Ustad Abdul Karim Khan had a dog which intently used to listen to him as he carried on with his daily riyaaz. It is said the loyalty did not die down even after the death of the classical maestro as the dog then took to listening to his voice from the gramophone in a melancholy state of mind, with tears rolling down its eyes. This tale of the loyal dog of the great artiste, we hear, gave birth to the logo of the famous music company HMV or “His Master’s Voice”.
