Akim is as Andre would say "Fantastic". You should check him out on the New York Memories DVD. Akim is 10 times as good at 5 as he was at 3. And he is stil a cutie.

(great site here. love the tech info!)

I guess I'm late to the game, Sally. I did not realize that the YouTube video was 2 years old. I've added "Attend Andre Rieu concert" to my someday/maybe list. Thanks.

Hello Eric:

No harm. You're way ahead on the computer tech stuff, and an older video is still enjoyable.

If you attend an Andre Rieu concert, go with friends. The more the better. Too often American crowds sit like lumps not warming up until the end. In a group I have found people feel freer to sing, sway, clap and dance. Life's too short not to have fun.

Won't take all your time up emailing you, but thought I'd share a newer video of that is very enjoyable. I had mixed feelings as to Connie Talbot or Paul Potts winning and was happy to see Paul win, but this is an amazing voice for a 6 year old.

first try out:

Hello to Michael Sampson too! Watch for Andre's newest video, recorded 2 weeks ago at Efteling { Link } in Holland. It should be exciting.

If you live anywhere near, Portland, Seattle, Vancouver, Sacramento or San Jose, pop me a note, and I'll see you at the concerts. (really I'm not so silly as to attend that many in a year, it just happened...)

Hi Sally. Well actually ... I live in New Zealand. Any chance he'll bring his orchestra down here? Four of my boys are learning the violin, and all 7 of my children love his music.

Hello Again Michael (and Eric) Just popping in to let you know, or remind you if you've already heard: André Rieu is going to be in Australia in 2008. Rumor has it he will tour in December. I am excited for everyone in OZ and NZ. :)

Here is a little article I put up about it.

That is so fun!

Sadly, in the United States, many schools have eliminated their music programs. Hopefully we will see these restored.
