Concert Rewind ~ Andre Rieu in Portland & Seattle ~ 2007
I had to keep telling myself the day of the concert to breathe in…breathe out…breathe in…breathe out…. All that I could keep my mind on was being able to see André and the JSO again, everything else was a chore, including breathing.
My brother and I arrived at the Rose Garden early because that’s my way; early is always best, besides I’m too anxious to wait. I proceeded directly to the promotion desk and bought a program and quickly scanned the insert to see which songs would be played.

Marlene Another Report Well Done! Bravo!
Positive, Upbeat, Smiling Words! Just what I would expect from you.
Bravo Marlene, another wonderfull report in "your (gifted) way" of writing. As allways it was a pleasure reading it.
Many thanks
Hans
Beautiful Marlene, loved reading your wonderful words and seeing your great photos. You have a way of making us feel we were there with you. Thank you so much my dear friend. Hugs
Marlene, it must be so much fun to be with you at a concert.I think it would be fun just to photograph all the different expressions on YOUR face as you watch. I love to see the facial expressions of the people as they listen to the music. I've never yet seen an angry look. Loved your report, it was almost like being there with you. Thank you.
Hi Marlene!
I enjoyed reading your report, especially about "Is it the music or the man that brings out such goodness"? I agree with you it is both the music and the man that in my mind that's the unspoken spiritual quality of what Andre does to uplift and bring people together throughout the world through music. It's right to the heart and soul of the people, that's positive energy cycling all throughout the globe as pinpoints of joyous light, I certainly feel that the world needs what Andre has to offer of his momentum.
Thank you Marlene!
Martha
Which reminds me: All fans going to Toronto Concert on December 15
We still have openings for the fan dinner but you don't have much time. Please email me if you would like to join us. We will have a great time. It is being held at the Renaissance Hotel so if you stay there you don't even have to walk out the door (except for the concert for about 3 minutes!)

You are right Martha. I read an Omaha review that said "he came and waltzed away with our hearts". Doesn't that say it all? The man and his music, where does one begin or end, they are both the same. The man IS the music.
Marlene, it is just as beautiful as mine was!! I missed Susan very much tho, I hope She is OK. Laura, unbelievable!! The voice She has, I could listen to all evening! Naturally, I never will forget our Carla and Carmen, I miss them all the time! Kati
Hi Kati, what did you think of Mirusia? Wasn't she magnificent!
She is very beautiful young Lady with a most beautiful sopran voice, I loved Her. I missed Susan so much also, but hoping everything is OK with Her!? I just cannot say it again and again about Laura, how powerful Her voice is?? BEAUTIFUL. Enjoyed them very much. Kati
Kati, I am with you. I thought Laura's voice was very powerful. Really beautiful.
And Mirusia? Another Wow. She voice is so Clear, Crisp. A show stopper.
Thank you all for your kind words.
I loved the concerts and wished they would never end. Dreaming....
You are an asset to yourself, this blog, & Andre. He is very lucky to have you as such a positive spokesperson. I look forward to reading your detailed & interesting reports.
