Melbourne is indeed waiting to welcome Andre Rieu 'home'. Thanks to the Melbourne Observer and its great cover and double page picture of Andre! We seem to have been waiting forever. It now remains to be seen whether "Dame Edna" will appear in 'her' home town and will there be a surprise guest as in Sydney, with Alan Jones. Does it really matter though? As long as Andre & the JSO come to town we Melburnians will be more than happy. 5 sleeps to go! CheeRIEU from Val & Victorian Friendship Group.
