LET ME START AT THE BEGINNING.
ANDRE RIEU AND HIS FAMOUS JOHANN STRAUSS ORCHESTRA
CAME TO TOWN ON MAY 26TH
2009
WONDERFUL, MARVELOUS!
THIS IS HOW I CAN DESCRIBE IT IN SHORT.
AT A PBS PRE CONCERT RECEPTION, I MET 4 MEMBERS OF THE ORCHESTRA, JET, HER
HUSBAND, TON MAESSEN, AND A NEW TROMBONE PLAYER, DOMINIC, NATURALLY WITH RUUD
MERX WITH HIS NEVER ENDING SMILE, AND LATER HIS HUMOR ON STAGE.
ALL HAVE BEEN VERY NICE, DID NOT MIND US TAKING PICTURES WITH THEM.
I WAS HOPING, MAYBE GET LUCKY AND BELA WOULD SHOW UP, I COULD CONVERSE HUNGARIAN
WITH HIM. I AM SURE, HE GETS HOMESICK SOMETIMES TOO.
I HAVE TO SAY TO ALL, ACTUALLY THE WHOLE WORLD, THIS WAS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL
BIRTHDAY PRESENT, I COULD HAVE EVER GOTTEN.
THE PROGRAM WAS OUT OF THIS WORLD.!
THERE IS SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL WAITING FOR ALL OF YOU, WHO ARE WAITING FOR YOUR
CONCERTS. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!
I GOT MY BEST BIRTHDAY PRESENT FROM CARLA. THE THREE TENORS, JUST CANNOT
HIT A BAD NOTE. FROM THE VERY SERIOUS PIECE FROM TOSCA, TO THE MOST
ENJOYABLE OPERETTA PIECES, THEY WERE A DELIGHT. NOT TO FORGET THE THREE
LADIES, CARLA, MIRUSIA, AND KALKI, THEIR VOICES STILL RING IN MY EAR!
THE LADIES CLOG DANCED, WHILE THE GUYS HELPED THEMSELVES TO SOME DRINKS SOME
BEER, SOME VODKA, AND MAYBE JUST WATER. THIS WAS VERY PLAYFUL. I
FELT SORRY FOR BELA, WHEN ANDRE DRANK HIS CHAMPAGNE, POOR THING HAD NOTHING
LEFT.
I AM SURE, HE HAD A CHANCE TO ENJOY HIMSELF LATER, AFTER THE CONCERT, BEFORE
TAKING OFF FOR EUROPE.
NOT TOO MANY WORDS CAN DESCRIBE MIRUSIA WITH HER BEAUTIFUL VOICE, SAYING
GOODBYE.
HOW CAN YOU SAY GOODBYE, WHEN YOU SEE THE AUDIENCE, ON THEIR FEET, YOUNG AND
OLD, DANCING, LAUGHING, JUST ENJOYING THEMSELVES.?
HOW ANYONE COULD FORGET ANDRE AND HIS JOHANN STRAUSS ORCHESTRA, WHEN HE NEVER
FORGETS ABOUT AMERICA, AND THE AMERICAN HEROES?
ALL OF US SINGING AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL.
I JUST WANT TO THANK ANDRE AND THE WHOLE ORCHESTRA, FOR BRINGING THE MOST
BEAUTIFUL MUSIC TO DENVER COLORADO, IT WAS UNFORGETTABLE.
