     Hello Fans: I have no idea what BLOG means but am willing to learn! I like the security aspect, and I wish Sally much success with this new place for news of the JSO. Soon, we can speak about Grand Prairie and something else that is very exciting. Congrats to Sally.

  Shirley: You are a good "idea" person. How about starting a "Name that DVD" challenge for the Radio City Music Hall DVD. No prize to the winner--just lots of personal satisfaction. I think we can write our suggestions here. Okay, Sally?

  DOES BLOG MEAN BE LOGICAL???

     Blog is short for weblog. A weblog is a journal (or newsletter) that is frequently updated and intended for general public consumption.
     
     Or in our case, intended for all of Andre Rieu's wonderful fans!

     Gosh, so many things. Can you see how we can setup our responces directly to the post? In the Guestbook you cannot do that. Here you can get email notices of replies. Here we have Moderators to help with posts and articles. So many differences. And there is a difference for me. This is better for myself and all of us fans as there are better controls. I cannot explain all of the differences are there are too many.

     I'm going to make an AndreRieuFans.com bumper sticker, but use two sided tape to put it inside the back window. I love to share Andre with others and other share their Andre stories with me.

  I'm back. came here originally to post, but saw Sally's comment. But here's what I first came to say.It's Monday morning and as I'm doing the laundry, I ask myself"Why do I still do laundry on Mondays. Why do I still do the white load first"? Ever wonder why you do things a certain way? and never change? are we creatures of habit or what?My grandmother taught me to do things a certain way & after all these years I think "I can change, why haven't I? Am I the only one who does this? Maybe I'm just thinking too much today, guess I'll get back to my laundry!

We may get ours before yours but will not give anything away, such as seat location. See you at LaQuinta which you discovered and is now THE place to be. Oh, to all, Denon Classics just sent me an email full of Andre Rieu recordings. Going back to see if I have everything.

  Andre Rieu Returns With Two National PBS Specials: "The Homecoming" & "Christmas Around the World"
  Unprecedented Airing of Two Specials in the Same December Pledge Drive Season North American Tour Begins in October
  LOS ANGELES, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- August 01, 2006 -- North America's #1 PBS pledge drive performer and #1 chart-topping Billboard Classical artist Andre Rieu will have an unprecedented two national television specials released this season. In August PBS will air "THE HOMECOMING" as a featured musical program for the August Pledge Drive period. "THE HOMECOMING" is Andre's dramatic return to his hometown of Maastricht in southern Holland, which was filmed in front of 34,000 adoring fans in the famous open-air Vrijthof Square. PBS will also air "CHRISTMAS AROUND THE WORLD" which will anchor the December Pledge Drive. Both productions will be aired in December on PBS stations nationwide and will released by DENON Classics on CD and DVD. "THE HOMECOMING" will be released on September 26 and "CHRISTMAS AROUND THE WORLD" will be released on November 7. Rieu will kick off his annual winter tour of North America on October 21.
  
  For Andre Rieu, a conductor, composer and musician who has performed concerts and taped specials around the world, "The Homecoming" represents a high point thus far in his career. In the summer of 2005, Rieu and his Johann Strauss Orchestra performed four concerts for over 34,000 fans in the beautiful Vrijthoff Square in Maastricht, Holland. There was an extra special emotional energy to the performances as Rieu triumphantly returned to his hometown. Says Rieu: "We tour all over the world and it is great that we meet with success from America to Asia, but Maastricht is where I live -- this is my city. When you find yourself playing to your own public, well, it really has an effect!'
  
  Also airing during the December pledge drive, is Rieu's "Christmas Around the World" special -- for Rieu and PBS, an unprecedented two specials airing nationally and concurrently. "Christmas Around the World" features Rieu and the Johann Strauss Orchestra performing holiday classics accompanied by the wonderful Japanese Children's Choir.
  
  Andre Rieu will kick off his annual winter tour of the US and Canada on October 21 (dates TBA). In addition, Rieu recently completed two more specials this July: "IN AMERICA" his first US-based special filmed at Radio City Music Hall and "LIVE AT THE SCHONBRUNN PALACE, VIENNA" -- possibly his grandest special to date filmed in the courtyard of the unbelievably romantic Schonbrunn Palace -- home of the waltz! Beginning in April 2007, Rieu will embark on his most extensive tour of North America visiting more than 40 cities.
  
  In an age of dwindling exposure for classical music on television and sliding album sales, Andre Rieu's evolution in North America in the last

  Andre will go down in history as the greatest classical conductor, composer and artist of our time in the 20th and 21 century. Wouldn't it be lovely to vision through a looking glass of the future in the 22/23 centuries just to observe what a difference he made with his music and his theory of more music in the world and less violence.
