Oobee doo............

I wanna be like you........



Actually, I don't just want to be like the Amsterdam Loeki Stardust Quartet (ALSQ) I actually want to actually be the actual them. Oh yes.

Even though they are all men of a certain age.

Their technique is fearsome. Their artistry is formidable. Their bravery and innovation is groundbreaking. I'm not a recorder player because of the ALSQ - I'm a recorder player because of the fickle (fast) finger of fate (and isn't it wonderful, sometimes, how that works out?). But the ALSQ have given me another reason to want to be a better player, and another reason to be glad of the opportunities I get to play now. And a reason to continue to aspire to be better.



And they do have a seriously cool name, also.
