Right here, just watch this step.

Here it is.

So this is your father's grave?

Yes, here underneath this beautiful redwood tree.

How often do you come back here?

I try to visit somewhat regularly.

And, of course, when people come to town and want to pay their respects,

you know, I always come and then on the obvious days like birthdays and death anniversaries

and sometimes on days like Guru Purnama or Sakswati Pujia or some kind of thing like that,

I'll come and visit him because he was the embodiment of that in human form for me.

The god of music, essentially.

Yeah.

I'm stood with Alam Khan, son of the late Indian classical maestro, Ali Akbar Khan,

was staring at his father's headstone where a picture of Ali Akbar cradling his beloved instrument,

the Sorod, is set into the granite.

For more than 150 years, the Khan family have been renowned virtuosos of the Serord.

It's a fretless steel-stringed instrument akin to a satar.

But since his father's death, Alam, in his early 40s and a mixed-raised American heritage,

has borne the responsibility of carrying forwards this sacred Indian classical lineage.

I'm not going to be my father, Ali Akbar Khan, I'm Alam Khan.

But it was probably so much weight because I had to completely carry on this classical tradition

and that's all, and how am I going to reach that summit?
