What is a raagas?

a Raga (usual spelling, it"s a Hindu Word, is a form of musical composition with the player of a Sitar (sometimes simulated by a conventional guitar or steel guitar) running up and down the scales in an off-pattern. The Jefferson Airplane/Great Society made splendid use of a Raga pattern in one of the album cuts of (White Rabbit) leading into the song proper. My Old Man called it, derisively- Snake Charmer"s music which might not be so far off the beam. I am n ot aware of Raagas as an animal or anything else. a Ruckus is a disturbance (Slang) for example an article in a Gun Digest described the controversial Canadian Ross Rifle as the( Ross Rifle Ruckus) ths gun used in world war l by most of the Canadian army, was some3what unreliable, bolts could blow out, jammed in the field, etc. hence (Ruckus). The gun had a straight-pull bolt, rare in bolt-action firearms though the Swiss had the Schmidt-Rubin still in reserve status for shooting matches, etc.
