Recorder let me experience how beautiful was playing music. When you've never done it before, playing whatever instrument open a window on a whole world.
I jumped into that window and I found my first keyboard, my first guitar, my first drums and then the bass and at the age of 30 I started studying the cello.
If I removed from my life all the happiness I found in playing an instrument, both all alone in my room and with friends on a stage, an awfully lot of happiness would just fade away of my life.
And it all started with that small, ugly recorder 😁
