And i got it all on tape….
So do I, Luc.
By the way the director of the radio program ” Cucamonga”, Zjakki Willems, organised – way back in the old days- a concert called Purple Cucumber. It was about Belgian classic & pock musicians performing the music of FZ ( string quartet adaptation of Inca Roads included). I was there when it happened in Antwerp – De Singel. Great & dynamic. Those people must have been rehearsing for months.
So. Why not kindly invite Zjakki to have a look at the opportunity to make that great music available to all via the Killuglyradio site?
