[edit] Dhani word

In Hindi, Dhani is pronounce Dhaa-Knee, which is correct for two notes on Indian musical scale, but the Hindi word for rich is just Dhani, not Dhaa-Knee as mentioned in this article. Correction made. Another interesting meaning of word Dhaani in Hindi is the colour of 'Dhaan', Young paddy (rice) saplings, which is light green, the meaning used in a song of Pakistani Band Strings - Dhaani [1]. Whatever his name might mean, hope he sings just as well as the one, who gave that name to him. :) (Ekabhishek (talk) 18:04, 4 January 2008 (UTC))

[edit] Article inconsistency

"George stayed young and [the other musicians performing] got old..." In this article, the quote is attributed to Dhani's mother. In the George Harrison article, it is Paul McCartney who says this. Anyone have sources for the quote ? Jcam 19:54, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

It was Paul McCartney. The source is the DVD for Concert for George, a tribute show that was put on after George's death. --Aguerriero (talk) 20:05, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

That was quick. Thanx. Jcam 20:35, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Query/Non-Sequitur

I have a question...I understand that Dhani's name is conventionally pronounced as "Danny", but according to Indian pronunciation, it would be "(hard) thäh nee". So, are we to take his name as something that was inspired by Samskrtam syllables (that is what the swara are), rather than a Sanskrit noun by itself (dhani being a wise, learned invidual)?

Admittedly, I have some vested pedantic interest in this, since my father's family and ancestors were noted avadhanis. Firebreeze 07:14, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "George were stayed young and thems other musicians performin done got old."

I'm fairly sure Paul doesn't say that, seems like vandalism but I'll have to check. -MichiganCharms 18:24, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

At the end of the Concert for George, just after Dhani Harrison spoke before the finale led by Joe Brown, Paul McCartney briefly took the microphone to tell the audience, "Olivia said that, 'With Dhani up on stage, it looks like George stayed young and we all got old.' " It was all very sweet. Verify on the concert DVD, a clip is here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pcphNHjwfGA -- and enjoy "I'll See You In My Dreams" Flora b 1 22:43, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
