Heart in Heidelberg.( in South Africa) I was born, raised and went to University in Heidelberg. It was a wonderful trip down memory lane. I have lived in Durban SA for a number of years but still recognised all the venues. Thank you Andre for resurecting a lot of memories.

You deserve the best birthday ever I hope your special day is filled with family, special friends, fun and lots of surprises. Thanks also for your tireless work on the blog. I hope you plan to take a day off on your birthday!!!!! All that's left to say is 3 CHEERS TO YOU AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY hib hib HOORAY!!!!!!!!!!!!
JILL GEELONG AUSTRALIA xxxx
As Adelaide has it's second exquisitely mild, sunny, Autumn day, I feel deeply for those countries overseas, effected by such horrendous natural disasters.
My heart goes out to those who have
lost loved ones or have been injured, physically and mentally.
I can't even envisage catasrophes of such magnitude. Apart from bushfires, in South Australia, we are lucky we don't suffer as others do. Our last earth tremor was in 1957 and I, as a 7 year old, remember standing in the middle of our street with family and neighbours, but little harm came from it.
As I see Europe lashed with violent winds and storms,I worry about the safety of Andre and the JSO, as they travel from one destination to another.
To you all, regardless of whether you are effected or not, please keep safe, look after yourselves and others. Life is so precious.
Lyndall

Enjoy Florida Jeanine Ann. Have a safe, most enjoyable trip

It is my birthday on 16 March.I would love some hugs sent via email.I recently purchased a 800gram ball of ragdoll kitten-quiet they said-much quieter than a Burmese-not true.this little charmer is a war machine but I love her and when she rests then maybe a ragdoll.Happy Birthday Jeanine Ann
Hi Jeanine Anne,
I hope you have a wonderful time on your holiday!!!!
LOL JILL GEELONG AUSTRALIA
From Andre On Twitter. . . . (I may be in Florida but I don't take a vacation from Andre!! : )
Just had my first interview here in South Africa. What a lovely people. Looking forward to the tour already!
Doing interviews in Johannesburg. This was Eagen, very nice guy!
Hi I love it when a plan comes together. Can't wait for Andre to visit SA I hope the sunshine in our country will let him come back again and again.
Spring is almost here! Happy March and
Happy Music everyone.
Hi Marilyn (& everyone.) I like your greeting, Marilyn. I have so been waiting for Spring,one of my favorite seasons, although March can be very dreary & chilly, there is the promise of Spring to come.
I look forward to those warm sunny days, of daffodills & tulips.A time of renewal for the earth & me.
And music , especially happy music, comes with Andre Rieu. I see he is in SA now, getting ready for his April concerts there. One of SA great singers, a Mimi Coertse, has said, about music,"" music brings joy, pleasure, relaxations and healing. It moves into the inner chambers of people’s hearts. You cannot swear at someone in music Music is sensual, emotional and very spiritual. God is the writer, man just the player". I especially like the thought about "you cannot swear at someone in music". I'd never thought of that before. If people listened to music instead of looking at one another's differences, the world might be a more peaceful place, especially Andre's style of music. So bring on March, bring on Spring, & bring on Andre! Happy everything everybody!
You're very poetic and "Springy" today Shirley! Reading your post has made me feel like doing something romamtic and dreamy.
Well Jill, I'm glad I made you feel that way.
We see quite a lot about your tornados on TV here Shirley. I'd be terrified of them. How do you "hit the deck?" - have you all got underground shelters? Do the emergency services drive a truck around blowing the siren or is there a central one everyone can hear? I just can't really picture what it would be like.
The worst weather drama I've experienced is big hailstorms. The last one smashed our skylights and the house was full of fist sized pieces of ice. I was worried about my cat. She was on the other side of the room when the loungeroom skylights smashed and I thought she'd be knocked out if she tried to get to me across the rain of ice pouring down between us. Anyway, our town has lots of tin and colourbond roofed houses. So everyone needed a new roof after that storm and it's certainly made the town look very flash.
Hi Jill, no, not everyone has underground shelters, some do, or at least have a basement. We don't have either, so we just go into a closet. Our city has not really had the worst ones you see on TV, but when they come they are scary enough. One year we lost 4 trees & a few shingles off the roof. A big tree across the street fell , crashing into our fence & missing the front of our house by inches, the 4 back trees all fell away from the house, but did take out part of the back fence. Our neighbor had some straw on her garden & the wind picked up the straw & embedded it into a telephone pole, the pole looked like a porcupine. We have warning sirens at various locations across town so most everyone can hear them go off. Sometimes you can tell, just by looking at the clouds, or when the air feels hot & heavy. In the past, May has been our worst month but anymore it can be anytime. A funny thing I have to tell you, a friend of mine told me, when the sirens went off one day, she & her family had nowhere to go except the bathtub, so they all piled in, with a mattress on top of them. Her young son accidently kicked the cold water faucet on the shower head & they all got soaking wet.
Thanks Shirley. I have more of a picture now. Fancy the wind embedding straw in a telegraph pole! Sounds like your friends had a damp adventure in the bath.....
Northern coastal areas here have cyclones. Nature can be very scary. I think an earthquake must be the absolute worst because you'd be so helpless. I've only experienced tremors and they're nervewracking enough.
From Andre on Twitter in SA!
Nice interview with Benito. Looking forward seeing him in the concert.
Guess what mountain this is.I am in Capetown and it sounds like furniture. The winner is......
I am on the Table Mountain with Lindll, the face of FHM, she was chosen the sexiest girl of SA
We have a goodby-evening with this view on the Table-mountain. Viva South Africa! See you in April

The girls are waiting for the performance in the Alan Tritschmarsh show. lovely aren't they?
On my way to the BBC, meetings and Alan Tritschmarsh's show again. Looking forward to seeing him again!
Just a quick comment about the Live in Sydney DVD.
I am really disappointed for several reasons.
1. It's rated PG (Parent Guidance required) 2. There are no "extras" 3. There is no list of the items being played inside the cover or shown on the screen. Was it put out too quickly?
Dear Manoe , I wish you a very happy birthday!!! It is also my daughters, that is why I did not forget it. Have a nice day, the music is always with you!!! Inge
Hi Max,
I have tried to send you an e-mail about our first meeting but I'm not sure whether I have sent it to the correct address. If I haven't the details of the meeting are here on the blog. We would dearly love to see you there this Saturday. Could you either e-mail me or post here to let me know if you can make it or not. It would be great to meet you in person finally!!
JILL GEELONG AUSTRALIA
I would like to wish Manoe Konings a HAPPY BITHDAY. May it be the best ever to a very multi-talneted vivacious lady

Thanks Jill, April 10th looks OK. What about a date in May as well please.
Dear Andre
This is a special request from Durban and Cape Town. Julia in C.T.and I in Durban are both involved with the care of Senior Citizens many of whom just can not afford to buy tickets but are all fans of yours through DVD shows in the Old Age homes. Is there any possibility that you would consider allowing attendance at the rehearsal concert for a small fee? I am not talking big crowds.It would be a very special highlight in their lives where not much is happening anymore.
Warmest regards Irene
I wish you good luck! Andre has a good
heart so everything is possible.
I spent ten years delivering food for our local senior nutrition program after
retiring at age 42. Needed a strong back
and good driving record. This senior
program is on life support now due to
Illinois and federal financial strain.
Difficult times for many worthy programs. At least Andre does so much to
lift the human spirit.
Thanks Gary
I am keeping fingers crossed that it will work. We have a similar program here in Durban it is called Feedback and
sponsored by our Rotary Clubs. Maybe you
should approach your local Rotary Club to see if you can get it going again
Regards Irene
Hi Irene, have you heard from Andre yet.I am getting very excited for his concerts and would love to arrange something for the old folk here in Cape Town. I will be going overseas in early May and would love to arrange things before it gets to hectic here, Keep well and God Bless. Kindest regards, Julia.
Hi Julia
No I HAVE HEARD NOTHING SO FAR, BUT i AM
NOT GIVING UP HOPE
Regards Irene
Hi Irene, thanks for your reply. I have e-mailed Huntalive and put our proposals to Anneka van der Westhuizen. If I do not hear anything after this week end I will try teleophoning her. Best regards , Julia
Hi Andre,
Great to see you again on The Alan Titchmarsh Show.
Forever Vienna---Congratulations on your UK Platinum award.
Looking forward to UK tour.
Kind regards
Vic Hamilton
When is UK tourplanned?

HAPPY SPRING!?? we are having snow & sleet! bah humbug!
Shirley, I almost hate to say this but it was 70 yesterday, 71 today and sunny! My little Andres are showing their pretty little heads! My daffodils are just about blooming and things are turning green. However, next week we will be colder with lows in the 30's so it will be a short Spring. Hugs
Hello friends. It has been a while since I have posted. I hope all are doing fine. This year on June 6th will be my wife and I 40th wedding anniversary. I have posted a few pictures of that day on my website at:
http://www.djbobphotos.com/index.htm lHow time flys by! Looking forward to seeing Andre again this year in Orlando in December.
All my best and God bless!!
DJ Bob
DJ,you had hair!
YES I DID, I almost did not recognize myself when I saw the picture!! Time changes everything! We are still happy together (hair or little or no hair)
Keep in touch
DJ BOB
Well, you are a lovely couple, same as 40 years ago.
"Time is too slow for those who wait
too swift for those who fear
too long for those who grieve,
too short for those who rejoice,
but for those who love, time is eternity.
Hours fly, flowers die,
new days, new ways pass by,
Love stays".
Shirley, Thank you so much for these beautiful words. They brought tears to my eyes!
May God bless you always!
DJ Bob
DJ, those beautiful words were written by Henry van Dyke. I love them too.
DJBob that is wonderful news! We celebrated 30 years last August. I must say you both look much the same as your wedding photos! Who cares about a little less hair! I pray that God will give you both another 40 together. You are a beautiful couple and I am very proud to know you both. Big Hugs!
Have to tell you this, I adopted an other cat. A black and white (most likely a girl, we are not lOO% sure yet) But as she is de-clawed on all 4, I assume she is also fixed. How somebody can abandon a lovely cat like that????? some neighbors of my friend in Laval moved away and left the cat behind. Mary fed her all winter then she started to limp and she let her stay inside, but she is ill and cannot keep her, so she phoned me, she knew I had resently lost Moise and only Poubelle left, so I got her home. Poubelle is still hiding and is afraid, but the new one feels quite at home, we love her, even so Vic did not want an other cat, but I won. Hope only that Poubelle accepts her soon. We call her Max or Maxi
Spoken like a true animal lover!
Here is beautiful Maxi!!! Thank you Inge for taking in this lovely cat. You are to be commended for being a friend to animals. You are a special person. Hugs
aww, she(?) looks a lot like our Jazz. She looks right at home in her new bed too.adorable kitty.
Hi all, has anyone seen I left my heart in Heidleberg? Awesome. Also, Maastricht 3. the tribute to Michael Jackson by Andre and JSO, and also by Carmen. I keep replaying the DVD over and over, and cry every time. Tremendous. Love to all, Carole P.S. Sally, if you can send me a place where I can send something to you, I would love to hear from you. Hope you are well.
Hi Carole, so nice to hear from you. I have seen both DVD's and agree they are wonderful. I think Carmen does a fantastic job with the Earth Song. I never get tired of hearing it. I will tell Sally to email you. Hugs
I think the Heidelberg is now one of my favorites. Love the little bell song that Frank plays.
I love that bell song too. Frank and his
carillon add so much.
Hi Carole, I just received both of these and the one from Australia just yesterday and can not wait to see them all ASAP!!
All my best
DJ BOB
Funny, just last night my husband looked at the Heidelberg DVD. I joined him on and off, as I saw it before. I like it for a lot of different reasons, I sang the songs of my youth with them and the town Heidelberg is only a hop away from my hometown Baden-Baden, used to drive there with my friend on my Lambretta, it makes me homesick.
Hi Inge
You mentioning 'youth' and Baden Baden brought back vivid memories of an adventure I had eons ago when I was young and hitch hiking around Europe with a friend, Diana.
We were loving every minute of being in Germany. Were staying at Youth Hostels and this particular day planned on going as far as Baden Baden to the hostel there for the night. It was quite a long way and to get there before dark we decided we'd have to use the autobahn. We'd just climbed up the ramp onto the roadway when the first car that came along was a police car. Their English wasn't fluent but they had no difficulty making us understand they didn't want us to hitch hike on the autobahn. We didn't understand why but thought they might think we'd hold up the flow of traffic when people stopped to pick us up.
So, we walked back down the ramp and waited till we thought they'd gone and climbed back up again. They were waiting for us...and no longer so polite. We found it a bit hard to take them too seriously. They were only our age, extremely handsome and really quite 'dishy'.
So, back down the ramp we went. What to do, we thought? It was getting late and we didn't think we'd make the hostel in time if we went the long way round. So we decided to walk to the next ramp and get back onto the autobahn there. How irresponsible we were.
Feeling pleased with ourselves we climbed up the next ramp and who was there waiting?? This time they were downright angry and made it very plain we were to get into the police car. We thought, to our dismay, that we'd been arrested. Not one word would they say to us. The last family that had given us a lift had given us a bag of lollies. "Offer them a lolly," said Di. I did, but they wouldn't even acknowledge that I was handing them something. They just sat in stony silence and I began wondering how I was going to explain to my parents that they had to bail me out of a German jail.
We drove for a long time and passed several off ramps. Where are they taking us we wondered? I think it was the good part of an hour later that they turned on the blinker and we saw the sign on the ramp - "Baden Baden". Astonished we realised they'd driven us to Baden Baden. Not only that, they drove us to the door of the hostel, got out and opened the doors for us and said, "You will not hitch hike on the autobahn." We tried to be very enthusiastic in our thanks, but they wouldn't drop their stern manner or shake our hands. So we waved them off feeling suitably chastened and ashamed of ourselves.
The manager of the hostel and other guests were very intrigued to know why we'd been delivered so unceremoniously by the police. We were shocked when the manager said, "But, don't you know? There's been an unknown man picking girls up off the autobahn and murdering them? They haven't been able to catch him yet."
What an interesting story,Jill.Makes one wonder how, in our younger days, we managed to survive those times of danger in our lives.
Sally: Does anyone know if Andre will
do a DVD special during his South Africa
concerts? Seems like a perfect place to
do one. Have to say my favorite DVD is
LIVE IN AUSTRALIA [Melbourne]. Am ready
for something new.
Hi there dear modaerators, its me the nag, begging you to come forward with an answer. Has anyone approached Andre if he is willing to open the rehearsal concerts to the senior citizens of Durban and Cape Town.All it needs is a
yes or no from him.And don't tell me its the organisers option because they do not feature in this decision ( I found out) When Renee Fleming appeard in
Durban it took one e-mail to get an answer. Please, pleae let Andre decide
and come back to us
Regards Irene and Julia
Dear Irene and Julia,
I don't recall but I believed I directed you to leave a message for Andre on his Guestbook at his personal web page andrerieu.com We are only a fan site and have no way to contact him with personal messages. He cannot possibly respond to all the messages but every one is read and I am sure anything of this importance will be brought to his attention. Please mark it important. Have either of you tried this approach? I really hope this works for you. We really have no say as to what Andre and his team decides. I did not even know you were waiting for an answer from us. Good luck. Jeanine Ann
Hi Jeanine Ann, thank you so much for the information you have given us. I will cerainly try this and hope I am successful. I am looking forward to Andre's concerts and cant wait till May. Many thanks again. Besr wishes, Julia
Dear Jeanine Ann.
thanks so much for your message. I will certainly try to copntact Andre on his personal web page and hope I will be lucky this time. We are all looking forward to his concerts in South Africa. Best regards Julia
Morning Irene, Happy Easter to you. There is as you will see an answer to your comment from Jeanine Ann, but I dont seem to be able to get into this website to send mesage. Perhaps you will have more luck.
Best wishes. Julia
P.S.. If you are successful please contact me. J
Hi Irene, I sent a e-mail to Andre but unfortunately they cannot grant our request. At least we tried.Maybe you will get a more positive reply. Kindest regards. Julia
Jill, I laughed so hard now, tears in my eyes. I have to tell that my friend Marga in New York City. She and I did have almost the same adventure as you. We took the train one day to Karlsruhe, just 35 km from Baden-Baden. We were l6 years old and had not much pocket money. We had just enough to take the train back, but we got very hungry in Karlsruhe and spent our money on some food and an ice cream and thought we hitch hike back. We just went on the Autobahn entry and held up our hand and a police car stopped. My friend said first:" run, Inge in the field," but I said, they would catch up with us. So we told them the truth and they said, it was too dangerous to hitch hike, they also took us in the car , two young guys, they gave us money for the train and drove us to the station. Not quite the same, but similar. You see, if my parents would have found out what we did, my father would have killed me, haaaaaaaaaaaa, perhaps not. But he never found out, but I told my mother one day.
I wonder if it was the same two fellas Inge??? Di and I still enjoy thinking of that day and the good turn they did for us.
I hope lots of good things have happened to them in their lives.
I never told my parents....
Well, our newest feline addition, Hercules, after getting very excited watching Johann catch things, finally brought me his first mouse. Hercules is now 8 months old.
Virginia Baker, an other feline lover. I do love all animals but cats have a special place in my heart. I knew a woman in Ottawa, she named one of her cats Mozart and one Toller Cranston, her idols. I had a Gorby, named him after Mikael Gorbatschov, he loves cats, too, have a nice picture of him with his cat Murat a Siberian forest cat. I hope, that my Maxi and Poubelle get one day along like your Hercules and Johann.
From Andre On Twitter . . . .
I am in"Kunstof", radio in A'dam. I had to write something on a tile, guess what it means.
I am guessing that it could mean "have lots of laughs (love?) in your life"???
I wonder whether Andre Rieu could play Sarasate Carmen Fantasy or the Zigeunerweisen
I would love to know whether he would be performing a virtuostic piece like Zigeunerweisen
Hello, I don't know the works in question but since Andre is classically trained I feel sure he would be able to play them. Have you ever been to one of his live concerts? Andre plays a variety of music but does not give a strictly "classical" concert. His music runs the gamut from Strauss waltzes to a Brazilian medley. There are many DVD concerts available if you would like to see what he plays. Andre is a very, very accomplished violinist.
Wieniawski, I am sure André could play those Zigeunerweisen, if he practiced enough, but he is constantly on the way and that is why we see perhaps tooooooo often the same stuff. He plays Gipsy music from Strauß and Kàlmàn.
Hi to all the Andre Fans ,or should I say friends? I am a new member living on the Isle of wight England. I have never been to a concert. Waiting for the one in England, Has anyone have Dates yet. Cheers Jenny

The tour starts in London on September 22nd, Birmingham 9/23, 9/27 Belfast, Manchester 9/29 and Newcastle Upon Tyne 9/30
To order tickets, go to Andre's web site andrerieu.com and click on "agenda". All the dates are listed and you can order by clicking on "order tickets online". They also list each venue.
Hope this information helps you Jennifer and that you will visit us often. Hugs
I too am a very new fan, and new to putting a message out. I have just got a message this morning that at last
Andre is coming to the U.K. I am hoping that I can get tickets to see him live at either Manchester or Newcastle. What a fabulous treat to look forward to.
They say you should not wish your life away, but September cannot come fast enough.
From Andre On Twitter. . . .
Tomorrow we perform for her Majesty in Valkenburg on the occasion of the 125 celebration of tourist office!
Doesn't Andre look great!!!
What a fabulous venue this looks too.
I'd love to see this concert.
Hi Jennifer from England,

Hello, dear Sally, Jeanine and all you lovely People Fans!!!!!!
It took a while for me to be able to get into the Guestbook. Thanks to a recent message from the Guestbook directly, I am finally able to leave a comment and especially many thanks for the well-wishers to my birthday on January 15, 2010. I was soo embarrassed that I could not write earlier.
Not much has changed; my in-law father died in his sleep on March 5th. It is very hard for the people involved.
Fortunately my grandchildren are seeming to become nice human beings. We love them sooo much! A reason to live still for a very long time to come.
I sincerely hope that everything is fine with every Fan of our dear André Rieu.
I will now visit more often.
Thanks are also due to Sally for getting me into the Website again. Only God knows, as far as I am concerned, where the problem was.
Good to be back!
Cordially,
Hermina

The concert was lovely this afternoon and the Queen really enjoyed it. The atmosphere was majestic!
I watched the video & it's fantastic!!!
Ek is 'n oue dame van Kaapstad, Suid Afrika en is so opgewonde dat ek die konsert op 2 Mei 2010 om 3nm gaan bywoon. Andre het weer lewe in my hart gesit. Sal dit enigsins moontlik wees om Andre se autograaf te kry na die konsert. Ek het so baie aan sy musiek te danke.
Andre, het jy al ooit 'Caravan' op een van jou konserte gespeel? Dit is my aller grootste gunsteling. Jou musiek is soos uit die hemel.
