Here is a very nice write-up about Narendra Sheth in the local Observer Eccentric newspaper recently:

Narendra Sheth’s career in music and radio has taken him from 78-rpm records and reel-to-reel tapes to digital mini discs and computer hard drives.

Sheth, of Plymouth Township, is an expert on the popular music of India who last month marked 40 years of hosting a weekly radio show – Geetmala, meaning “garland of melodies” – that’s focused on Indian music, but also includes interviews, news and information.

Born in India and educated at the University of Bombay (now Mumbai) and the University of Michigan, Sheth worked as an engineer and statistician for more than 30 years, co-authored a college textbook on applying statistics to engineering, produces concerts, is on the board of the Michigan Philharmonic and on several other boards, has been active in the area’s Indian community for decades, plays keyboards and harmonica and recently learned computer video production.
