KEN LOVES INDIA: When was the last time you said to a good friend, "I never knew that about you?" Musician Ken Lee had been engineering for The Tibet Connection for over a year before we found out about his music album Sangsara, inspired by his travels to a Tibetan refugee settlement in India. Rebecca Novick spoke with Ken in his studio in the summer of 2008, and found out how his experiences in India moved him to make a major change to his life back in Los Angeles.

What they are drawing might surprise you.
