ISLAMABAD- A group of senior journalists was pretty well amused to hear from Lord Nazir Ahmed of the British House of Lords that former military dictator Gen (r) Pervez Musharraf had not only good ear for music but could also give a ‘perfect’ performance on tabla (a pair of small drums beaten with performer’s fast moving fingers).*

According to Lord Nazir’s friend, Musharraf was recently invited as chief guest to a music show where he felt that the tabla nawaz (drum beater) accompanying the singer had gone out of rhythm. Dissatisfied, rather irritated by tabla performer’s odd beats, the chief guest himself jumped to the stage and entertained the audience with the ‘best of beats’ his agile fingers could extract from the pair of small drums.*
