It’s pleasure listening to them “, quipped Kandivali resident Aarti Shetty, a music lover who attended the programme. While another hardcore music buff Kerban Godrej added, “ It’s amazing to note that the songs composed more than thirty years ago are still popular and every one in the audience were humming along “.
