[George London](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=icb0URLad-k). In case I didn’t do the link correctly, the singing begins at about 0:50. (I think I did the right thing to get the youtube link to go straight to that time…) ---

Someone else…I have a distinct idea of what Krishna’s voice should sound like. Very calm, slightly amused, very intelligent. Distinctive. ---
