My father, Swaran Singh, was born on Jan 16, 1922, in Rangilpur, Amritsar, Punjab, India, and so began the life of the man whom people would remember as the man who could repair any type of musical instrument, whether it was the waja (harmonium), tabla, accordion, organ or others.

He lived his life to the fullest and touched so many people's hearts during his lifetime.
