Millay, Eugene O'Neil, Samuel Beckett &Sam Sheppard, hosts the works of 13th century
Sufi Poet/Music Composer Hazrat Ameer Khusro. It is said that
the present day sitar and tabla were the inventions of this
poet/musician genius. He composed many raags(ragas) including
Raag Aiman. The compositions of Ameer Khusro
are as fresh today in the 21st century as they were in the 13th
century some 800 years ago!
