UP UP AND AWAY ~ André Rieu In a Hot Air Balloon!

André Rieu Up In The Air for Energy Saving LED's

"Why André Was In A Hot Air Balloon Today!"

André is used to taking his public in the higher spheres. Now it was the "Waltz King's" turn for the National Campaign of "What LED you (to LED's)?"

Monday he floated for several minutes at a (dizzying) height of 50 centimeters (that's 20 inches) above the square in front of City Hall.

Rieu and several other well known Dutch celebrities wanted to bring attention to the new generation of energy saving lights. The old fashioned light bulbs will gradually be disappearing from the stores as of Sept. 1st to make room for the new energy friendly LED lights.

The Campaign is the initiative of Post Code Lottery and The World Nature Foundation ... Thanks to John for translating and sending this!

►Note: This is going to be our last post for awhile. As I wrote in the Guestbook, John and I are going to take a much needed rest from the Parlor. It's a lot of work and sometimes can be overwhelming in the hours we put into it. We need to take a few weeks away from everything and have a break. We've left you with a great article on Pierre's very recent interview that John translated for us ... the longest one we've ever had I think ... and there's lots of video's to watch on Ruud and Ineke's site. I have had to close the comment sections so we don't have to monitor them, but you can write any comments you want to make in the Guestbook. And we'll see you back here in a few weeks ... Sue :)
