I have several photos I took of Nathalie during the December 2007 concert here in Phoenix.







Nathalie is the lady on the left, Teun is standing next to her



Nathalie is the lady on the far right

If you have any photos of Nathalie & want them included, please, by all means, email them to me or Sally & we will add them to this topic


Ruud is holding his trombone, on the left; Thomas is on the right & is one of the Tenors

For those of you that are relatively new, Ruud is married to Lin (violin) & they have 2 children, Oscar & Lisa

I'll add some photos of Teun & Carmen on Friday, in the meantime, if you have any photos of Teun or Carmen, please email them to me, I'll add then as soon as I get them.


Teun, slightly out of focus



Carmen, up close & personal.  Thanks to Barbara Wilson.





C'mon, Carmen; decloak & let us all know what you & Carla are eating?


Would y'all like to know the name of the #1 song in the U.S. on the day you were born?
Or the day you graduated from high school?
 - the day you were married?
 - the day your child was born?
 - the approximate date you were conceived?
 - the day you were convicted?  <snicker>

Let's all give a big thank you to Shirley for this tidbit of information

Go here if you'd like the name of famous people born on your birthday, then enter your birthdate.

Go here if you'd like a list of famous historical things that happened on your birthday, then enter your birthdate.

This entire topic is a work in progress, meaning we will be adding more photos & "stuff", so be sure to check back every couple of days........



Diane & Nathalie, taken during 2006 concert here in Phoenix.  I have no idea what musical selection they were reacting to, however, they were both standing up &  caught my attention.  Over the years it is interesting to note the hair styles of these 2 ladies have changed.  Diane started out with hair down just past her ears & Nathalie started out with a short pixie type hair style.  Now, Diane has blond hair & the pixie cut style while Nathalie has changed to a long hair style.  hmmm, long hairdo & playing long hair music? <g>

    Happy Birthday to me, happy birthday to me.

    Yes, I am an August fools baby.

    How old am I? Well one month after I was born, Hitler invaded Poland. You do the math.

    Had a wonderful lunch yesterday with my eldest son and his two children. The two year old was adorable. She had to show off her yellow dress with bees on it. Insisted on holding my hand when we crossed the parking lot. Grandkids are wonderful.

    They gave me two Rieu DVDs for my birthday. Unfortunately they were two I already had, but I can exchange them.

      Happy Birthday Grampa Mike,

      I was born 39 days before Hitler committed suicide.. I didn't think anyone was older than me

      I, sincerely, hope you are still enjoying good health & happiness

        Thank goodness you were born 39 days away from him dying. It would be quite and interesting array of discussions for you if you were born ON THAT DAY!

        Personally, my birthday is January 12, 1965. This is the same day exactly as the death of Lorraine Hansberry. She wrote, "Raisin in the Sun". She also wrote an array of other human rights related broadway plays and books. Lorraine died January 12, 1965 of pancreatic cancer at age 34.

        I took Shirley's quiz and it was fun. You never know what interesting facts await you when you come into this world!

        Have a great day Bill.

    Dear Nathalie ,

    I hope you have a happy birthday & that is memorable in some small way.

    I wish I could have seen the look on your face & heard your comments, when you first saw some of the photos I took of you here in Phoenix in Dec 2007.

    I'm looking forward to seeing you again on 23 June 2009 here in Phoenix...& who knows, you just may be a new photo on my JSO photo T-Shirt.....no promises

    I especially enjoyed your clowning around with Teun....with you playing one hand/fingers on Teun's flute while he had one finger in your ear.

    I suspect you are practicing for the Dresden concert & creating mayhem for Teun, when he least expects it.

    Say "hi" to Resie , for me
    !

    For everyones benefit, Nathalie was born in Belgium.  On this day in 1914, Austria - Hungry, declared war on Belgium.  I'm not sure what the moral of the story is, it's simply a fact.<g>

    I'm still wondering if Lin (violin) squashed the mustache you were sporting a couple of years ago?

    For everyone elses benefit, Ruud & Lin have 2 children, Oscar & Lisa.

    I've always wondered, when Heidi plays the trombone in your absence, does she have her own trombone or does she merely change the mouthpiece?

    Happy Birthday Remembrance to Leonard Bernstein, born August 25th, 1918. Although he's not on our list, I can't let the day go by without a tribute to him. He was really the first music conductor I had ever seen. Many times we would watch him on TV and I learned so much on his Young People's concerts. Between 1954-1989 his time on TV was sure to catch me watching. I salute you Mr. Bernstein. I remember.

    I hope you garner some pleasant long lasting memories of today.

    Thanking you for playing THE LAST ROSE so beautifully & for giving little miss nuisance (Manoe) some of her own medicine.

    I've seen you at 3 concerts here in Phoenix, AZ, in 2005, 2006 & again in 2007.

    I have tickets to see you again on 23 June 2009 & hope to personally ask you a question as to why you play the instrument out of the right side of your mouth, when playing THE LAST ROSE.

    Most of all, thank you or playing so beautifully & for acting with so much enthusiasm

    Happy Birthday, Carmen

    You are the person that captured my attention sometime in 2005 as you were singing O Mio Babbino Caro, during a PBS fund raiser.

    Since that time I bought a DVD player, all of André's DVD's, Mirusia's CD, & attended 3 concerts here in Phoenix.

    Lucky for me, I was able to hear you sing your signature song here in Phoenix on 8 Dec 2007 & my memory of you, is as clear as though you sang yesterday.

    Here is my concert report where I talk about your beautiful performance

    I have tickets to André's next appearance here in Phoenix on 23 June 2009 & sure hope you are part of the concert.

    Thanks again, Carmen, for singing so beautifully here in Phoenix on 8 Dec 2007

      Happy Birthday beautiful Carmen.  Thank you so much for the music you give us through your magnificent voice.  When Andre said you sing like a Cathedral, he was right!  May you have many more.

    I wonder if  Carmen can polka or waltz?

    If she can, then I'm going to have to nickname her Twinkle Toes which is a term of endearment

      Thank you Marlene from Clyde.  That is exactly what we are going to do today, extend his birthday and go to Starbucks our favorite haunt and depending on the temperature at the time will either get a caramel  macchiato(sp) or a caramel frappacino with extra caramel and whipped.  Doesn't that sound good (and fattening)?  Hugs to you
