A dearest thank you to you Mr. Andre Rieu, your music came to me while have suffering with great illness in a hospital that I had battled with for many years. I has been a hard journey. It was a PBS fund raiser you were participating in and the joy not only in your music but your countenance, your dance, and not only in you but in all those who participated, and in the audience and those who watched the broadcast I am sure has brought me searching to have this music in my life daily. One day I will find a way to see you in person, if I am able. Thank you for such great joy in music. I will find a way to travel and find a way to afford to see this magnificent man and all who has helped him to share his talent and gift with the world and who has spent his gift of life and when we share God's gifts wisely since our birth to others especially with those that it helps in the healing process then may it bless you ten fold. Thank you and Happy Birthday, May the Lord Bless you as you have blessed me and all those around you. Thank you, you may never know how you have blessed my life as the music from you and others around you have not only blessed my life daily to keep me healing and alive but kept me here just a little longer with my children with the help of the lord and music through one more night.
ANDRE RIEU

James Herriot (James Alfred Wight) was born on October 3rd 1916
This is the Scottish Vet from the UK who wrote all those wonderful books:
All Creatures Great & Small. (also a TV series)
Happy Birthday James Herriot!
LONDON -- James Herriot, who shared his experiences as a country veterinarian in the best-selling memoir "All Creatures Great and Small," died Thursday in the Yorkshire Dales where he had ministered to animals for half a century. He was 78. He died of prostate cancer at his home near Thirsk, his granddaughter, Emma Page, said.
"He had been ill for three years, but he had borne his illness very patiently and bravely. His family were all with him when he died peacefully at home today," she said.
Herriot -- the pen name and alter ego of James Alfred Wight -- wrote 15 books in the time that he could wrest away from his practice. They sold 50 million copies in 20 countries. But he continued his veterinary practice long after his books made him famous. "If a farmer calls me with a sick animal, he couldn't care less if I were George Bernard Shaw," he once said.
A quiet, modest man with a trace of his Glasgow upbringing in his voice, "Alf" Wight kept out of the limelight as best he could. Despite the pen name, many fans tracked him down at Skeldale House, the ivy-covered home and office familiar to his readers and viewers of the popular British television series based on "All Creatures Great and Small."
The son of an orchestra leader who played background music for silent films, he was born Oct. 13, 1916, and grew up in Glasgow. He trained at Glasgow Veterinary College, arriving in Thirsk in 1940 for a now-famous job interview with Donald Sinclair -- Siegfried Farnon in the book.
He joined the practice and, aided and abetted by the hapless Tristan -- Sinclair's brother, Brian -- settled in among the dour farmers of the Yorkshire Dales.
He started writing when he was 50.
"I was dumbfounded by the reaction to that first book, absolutely dumbfounded," he told the Daily Mail in 1981. "The most I had hoped for was that someone would publish it and a few people quite enjoy reading it."
Author. Veterinarian. Born James Alfred Wight the son of Hannah and James Wight in Sunderland, England. He was raised in the Glasgow suburb of Yoker, Scotland, where he attended Yoker Primary School and Hillhead High School. In 1939 he was graduated from Glasgow Veterinary College and within a year found employment in the town of Thirsk, Yorkshire. During the Second World War, he served in the RAF, and after demobilization returned to his practice in Yorkshire. He had long wished to write, but the pressures of his practice postponed his attempts until the 1960s. After several stories focusing on football (soccer) were rejected, Wight wrote of what he knew. ‘If Only They Could Talk,' based upon his life as a working rural vet, was published in the UK in 1969 under the pen name James Herriot followed by ‘It Shouldn't Happen to a Vet.' The two volumes were combined for their American debut and entitled ‘All Creatures Great and Small,' which quickly rose to bestseller. Several popular sequels followed including ‘All Things Bright and Beautiful' in 1974, ‘All Things Wise and Wonderful' in 1977, and ‘The Lord God Made Them All' in 1981. The books were adapted into two feature films and a long-running BBC television series, all of which were called ‘All Creatures Great and Small.' In 1979 he was awarded the Order of the British Empire and he received an honorary Litt.D. (Doctorate of Letters) from Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh. In 1982 was awarded a Fellow of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons, the senior category of membership of the RCVS for members who have demonstrated significant original contribution to their profession. In February 1995, the new library at Glasgow Veterinary School was named the James Herriot Library in recognition of his services to the profession. Wight, however, succumbed to prostate cancer the day before he was due to attend the official opening.
