A Message From Ruth on Her Jacksonville Concert


Ruth called me a little while ago from Jacksonville, where she had just seen Andre's concert there. She was with Jeanine, and said that they saw Dan Lycon and his wife Alice who were there, and got to visit with them for a bit before the concert. She said they were in the front row on the isle and Jeanine got a "High Five" from André! ~ We know Jeanine's excited tonight! :)

Before the concert, they had a VIP Dinner they went to put on by PBS and they had two of the JSO members there for it.
Leon van Wijk and Teun Ramaekers were both there and she really enjoyed that she got to talk to Tuen for quite a bit at their table.

She said the concert was wonderful and Andre's new soloist, Donij did sing her solo tonight. (She sang solo in Chicago, but although she was there in Kansas City, she didn't sing solo as she wasn't feeling well.)

They're still on a cloud of course and are really looking forward to Sunday night now, where they'll be going on to the final concert of the tour in Miami.

  3. Wow, Rudy!!
    You and Jeanine Ann are partying with Andre, Teun and Leon! Have a great time in Florida! In the meantime your husband Jim is studying the Dutch language, so we can talk Dutch in Amsterdam and Maastricht! See you soon!

  4. Hi Chris, Margaret and Ineke! WOW we are have a great time. I am so high on cloud 9 right now that I don't think I will ever get down. I will write a report for all of you. We just had a great time and tomorrow is another concert. Wait until you hear the details of Clyde and I dancing for Andre. He looked into my eyes (he was up front and I was right at the flowers) for a whole 5 secons and then smiled. I am speechless right now and also exhausted. More later dear friends. Love you all
    Jeanine Ann

  6. Alice ~ you get in that center section in an isle seat on the left (looking at the stage) so you're on the isle that André
    comes down.

    Betty and I got a "High Five"
    from him in San Diego in December just before Toronto ! *sigh*
