wouldn't it be nice?

I was checking out information about the Etha Theatre Company whose performance of Calderon de la Barca's The Constant Prince I just missed. They were recently on a successful tour in Egypt, which is interesting. But what is even more interesting is this:

"Captivated by the vibrancy of Egyptian musical and theatrical traditions, Etha has integrated artists from Egypt into the ensemble, including an Arghoul player (one of the few people alive still playing this Pharaonic instrument)".

I would love to see and listen to this Arghoul player, that would be quite an exciting experience to listen to a musical instrument which was actually used by ancient Egyptians. Also, after reading this, I kept on thinking how nice it is for someone to be decribed as "one of the few poeple alive" who can do something. Wouldn't it be nice if there is one thing I can be said to be one of the few people alive who can do it? (is this a good structure? not sure) Ideally, that would be something important and interesting as one of the few people alive who can speak this language, or maybe one of the few people alive who can understand any language, or perhaps one of the few people alive who can analyse referring expressions in all languages :) I guess any of these options beats the hell out of being one of the few people alive who can't make soup :-}
