Wouldn't it be wonderful if we all get the CD & DVD, attend the 30 Years Celebration Concerts and then Andre comes out with all new songs and concerts in 2010?
Sounds like Heaven to Me !
André has one Celebration Concert for every year. New songs for 2010 would be Heaven for sure!
Thank you for all the news we get about Andrew Rieu.
But I have to make a correction on some of the info.
Andre was not born in the province of Maastricht, but in the city of Maastricht. This is the Capital city of the Province "LIMBURG"
The town is called Maastricht, not "Maastrich"
I am a great fan of his, and will be going to his forthcoming concerts in Melbourne this coming October.
Meanwhile Andre has brought out a single CD to help the Victorian bushfire victims. All the proceeds from this CD will be donated to help the people who have lost everything in those terrible fires.
What a great Man he is.
Ha, you are right, maybe the news person who wrote the article didn't proof read it, then again maybe they didn't really know how to spell it.
Maybe André will forgive them and so will I.
You know...right you are. I saw that too and wondered abou it.
I thought to put up Editor's Notes, but took a nap instead !
Thank you for helping all the fans. You are so right on your corrections.
This is a press release from Andre's American label.
Anyone aware IF Andre is still coming to Syracuse, NY on April 20th?? I was looking at his schedule and there is NO listing? Just being Curious George this morning. Your reply will be greatly appreciated. I spoke with a friend this morning and she said she is

SPEEDY DELIVERY: Boy you are really on the ball Shirley. I send you a speedy,
smiling, big hug for such a fast reply. That is why I LOVE this fan site - everyone is so very helpful and give you
excellent information. Lets hear it for my "sweet Shirley". Please except all my hugs - I can't send any kisses because I have such a BAD, cold, cough, and just plain conjested, hacking, feverish, stuffed head, plugged ears, sore throat (feels like I am swallowing
razor blades)-guess you get the picture?
Thank You luvie. - Just plain sick of being sick!!! :{
Hi dear Judith, I didn't know you were sick. I will pray for you sweetie so you get rid of all that stuff. Please try to get to Syracuse. The least expensive according to Shirley would be $50.00 which may not be the greatest seat but would get you in. I am going to email you now so hang around if you can. Hugs to you and feel better soon. Jeanine Ann
Happy Hello Jeanine Ann. Yes, I have NOT
had such a cold in years. This has really set me back. Someone at a birthday party shared this cold with me
at my ex's wife BD party. I just have to share this with y'all - this ex I speak of was married to me, but as all things come to an end, this mister worked his way to wife number 3 - YES, I did say wife #3, guess he is still trying to perfect the idea of being married; anyways, I teased my daughters
at the BD party, that I was going to ask their father to take me to the Andre
Concert in Michigan......guess I started
the ball rolling. By the way, after years of bitterness, I made amends,and because of the girls, when "we" get together, all of 'we' three wives get together and compare notes. Ha-ha-ha, can ya beat that one. Love to all, and remember, where there is peace, there is also serenity. LOL
Hi Judith, Hate to hear that you are so sick. what a bummer. don't forget the chicken soup.
Happy Hi's to Miss Shirley, again sending you many thanks for all your assistance in helping direct me to the site I have used in the past, but for some reason, this time, duh, what can I say? I sure have been having my share of
the "magic" cure for a cold - CHICKEN SOUP - oh so good. My two younger grand-
children said I sound like the green Mucinex man on TV. Finally feeling a bit better and looking to get into trouble. hee-hee-hee. I heed your command, and I will "HEAL". Smiles and giggles to all from the mischief maker.
AGAIN-THANKS FOR CARING & SHARING.
Judith you know what I found to work on a cold if you take it at the first sign you are getting a cold is Zicam. It works for me anyway but you must get it right away. I think you are too far into it now but the next time try it. Hope you feel better soon. Big get well hug to you
Thank-eee Jeanine Ann, that is absolutely a great idea - however as is said, I was too far into the cold. It did come on suddenly, but all the ugly
symptoms were very aggressive and just
attacked me and wiped me off my feet, that mean bug just grabbed me without me
being aware it was slowly creeping into
my un-guarded moments and 'zapped' me at a weak moment. But I am now on guard, building an immunity against this bad bug, just let it rear its ugly head in this house, and Lysol, Vaporizer, Zicam(now at hand) just terrible how these ugly bugs catch you off guard....well enough, is enough, I'd feel terrible 'bugging' y'all. Have a absolutely healthy evening.
I have an extra ticket for Andre's show on June 17 in Sacramento. The cost is $125. Please e-mail me if you are interested:
Jan, I took your email address off for security reasons.
If anyone is interested in this ticket please post your name only and I will send Jan's address to you. Thanks much. Good luck Jan
