| Unforgettable it was!! About 9500 faithful filled the Pepsi Center last night. Andre and His orchestra marched in on the music, Entrance of the Gladiators; the crowd was on their feet.
They clapped on the marches, and danced on The Beautiful Blue Danube, laughed at every joke. It was all very easy on the eyes and ears! Then came his version of Beethoven's Ode to Joy was over the top. The lovely tune Don't Cry for Me Argentina by Susan, was superb! Who could forget Gold and Silver Wine, Woman and Song? To top all these, came Feurfest! Everybody enjoyed it! Marcel's Circus Renz, and the speed contest with Frank, made this evening that much enjoyable. The singers, trio of tenors, back-up singers, three solo sopranos pleased the crowd every time! Funiculi Funicula, I Could Have Danced All Night, Return to Sorrento and Juliska from Budapest, were crowd pleasers. Radetzky March brought the colored balloons, and the real party started.

My friend made some pictures of me, while I was csardasing away up front, mostly my back, was too dark, I will try to lighten them up, and send it again. It was a little too early celebration, but I just wanted to dance with Carla, She does a wonderful job up there! I just had to do it; I have no idea if I ever will get the chance in my lifetime? The timing was not right about my Csardas, the piece came too early in the show, You have to get people ready for this kind of mood, and dancing. I was the only fool out there, took a lot of courage to do it, felt alone. Andre had a smirk on His face, here is a crazy Hungarian celebrating by herself, I started it, and I had to finish, just love Her (Carla) as Juliska. I do not know how people have that much courage go on stage and perform day after day! I do admire them! You get in the singing and dancing mood later in the evening, but I wanted to celebrate with Andre's music. He certainly did not disappoint us. I was the first to form the Conga Line. I am not the tallest person, but I feel very tall now, maybe last a few days. They have to know how much us Fans do appreciate this beautiful entertainment they did give us, and lifetime memories. Being away from them, just a few feet, seemed unreal, like wake up from your dreams! Naturally, Dan was there with His banners, Andre was laughing about the one for president, so was everyone else. They looked very tired, I just thought of the after a very long trip from Winnipeg? I was hoping they were flying. Yes, two weeks are long enough away from the family, from the home, but they did please so many thousands in this two weeks, others will follow. I am ready for my next concert! I am happy I was part of this beautiful celebration, danced with Carla, and close to the end started the Conga dance, elevate the mood higher in the crowd! Thanks Andre and JSO, for the memorable evening, will cherish the experience the rest of my life! Kati
