André on The Theater Steps in MaastrichtEach night in Maastricht, André and all the JSO have always come outon the Theater steps an hour before the concert starts at 9:30. They all stand there on the steps for the fans to take pictures of them and some of the JSO will let you take pictures with them. We all know how André has said how nervous he is before a concert, so it really is so nice of him to do this for his fans ...
An hour of standing there with people staring at you and taking pictures can'tbe easy ... For the most part, he usually has a serious, or concentrated look on his face as you see in the picture above on the left. Going over in his head, the program he is about to perform I am sure.
André being André though, you never know what to expect of him! Here are some photos that Al Girard captured before the Saturday night concert.I assure you, you will be smiling as soon as you start watching this. Click on the link below ... :)

Al, thank you for your pictures of Andre's funny faces and Sue for posting them for all us to enjoy. Obviously he was high on feeling good and rightly so.

Thanks Al, for giving us this unique perspective of Andre's personality ;-). Those of us at home can see even more what fun we missed. Hey Alice, another glimpse of tall Mr. cute for ya. We still don't know if he's married yet, do we??? ~Chris T.
Betty and I got to Maastricht on Sunday and Johan was "off duty".
We didn't see any bodyguards with André until Wednesday night as people started slowly coming into town then.
We passed Johan on the street in front of the Vrijthof on Tuesday I think it was and he said, "Hi" to me and asked if I was having a good time." I knew then for sure he knew me, but am not sure that's a good thing or a bad thing. ;-)
He was walking with a very pretty young woman who was either his girlfriend or wife, but don't know which. And he was wearing Shorts, a T-Shirt and Flip Flops! :)))
Someone did ask him while we were there if he was married and told him he was quite popular now ... his answer I was told was, "do you mind if I don't answer that."
So his marital status is still a mystery! :)
Thank you for the photos - so nice to see André having fun before a concert instead of the usual nerves.

Hmmmm...Johann's marital status unknown??? I doubt if I like competition... Okay, guess he was right not to give an answer... Afterall, he has to be careful now... I'll stick to his bodyguard in suit image, no shorts or flip flops please... :D
p.s. So who's the thoughtful fan who popped the question? Thanks for trying!
I was right beside Al when he was doing the photos..I was also taking photos like mad, but Al's camera is much better than mine!
Alice, I tried to talk to Johann, I wanted to put in a good word for you !! but he was more concerned with the fact that fans were getting up onto the steps, closer to Andre (and him!) he is definately 'cute' behind the 'bodyguard' exterior.. when we were having dinner on one of the terraces, Saturday night, he passed by; my husband called out , 'hi Johann'; he acknowledged with a slight grin and a smile at my dog.
