My dad Charanjit Singh Panesar used to be an ace musician with all the greats like Shankar Jaikishen, Laxmikant Pyarelal, Rd Burman. He travelled on shows with Mukeshji and Kishore Kumar. He played the mandolin, clavioline, Hawaiian guitar and the transicord. He introduced the bass guitar to Bollywood. As kids, me and my sister Rajee went to meet my dad on the recording of Palay Khan (1986). They were recording Kabul se aaya hai which Ashaji was singing. Pancham da took the beats from a LP record of a Swedish music band called Yello.
