Thijs van Leer and Jan Akkerman also wanted to bring the classic music to the kids in a new way.
Just like the guy's of Exception did putting the classic music in a new beat to tthe kids, and were quite succesfull here.
It was a time i was young Her Majesties Customs officer at Schiphol airport and in that work met a lot of these peeps, and so got to talk to them or was invited to their place for a longer chat, some i visited for many times, till i went my way in life like marrying kid etc... you know the drill.

Jan Akkerman is still a virtuoso on every instrument he wants to play, i still drift away when i was at his house/studio and hear him jamming seing him go up completely in the music, gifted people they are.
In that time, 60's 70's our country was awash with talented musicians, and groups and with the UK groups dominated the charts.
Now we "export"our D.J's etc.
