Krishnamurthy’s acclaim grew with his experience. Through the years, he has performed in hundreds of international concerts, including a private performance in 2007 for Abdul Kalam, then India’s president. A graduate of Kalamazoo College and the Eastman School of Music at the University of Rochester, in New York, Krishnamurthy has branched out beyond performing. He designed and patented a new method of tuning drumheads, an invention that won him first place in an entrepreneur competition at the Eastman School, where he earned a doctorate in musicology last year.

But Peevey is in trouble now. Once it became clear that he informally advised PG&E about how to conduct itself after federal officials first pronounced the company “negligent” and then indicted it for a huge gas pipeline explosion that killed eight people in San Bruno in 2010, he recused himself from further proceedings relating to that blast and the penalties to be exacted on PG&E for it. He fired his chief of staff when emails revealed “inappropriate communications” between her and PG&E. But does anyone seriously believe a chief of staff would advise a troubled, regulated company without the full knowledge and approval of her boss? Peevey’s staff also allegedly helped PG&E decide which administrative law judge would hear a PG&E rate case deciding how much the company pays for gas pipeline repairs and how much its customers will be assessed. Of course, consumers have paid monthly for gas pipeline maintenance since the 1950s, but PG&E didn’t always use the money for that.
