The Red Rose Cafe in The Harbor

The Red Rose Cafe in Hoorn

On Friday, June 27th a group of us went to Hoorn to see the Red Rose Cafe ~ it was one of the main highlights of my trip to Holland.They had André's recording of it playing when we arrived and it played the whole time we were there. We all enjoyed a Dutch lunch and sang along with André's music. Just being there was so exciting! The town reminded me of a New England Seaport Village ~ I loved it!
What made the whole experience even more special was, to our surprise André played The Red Rose Cafe at the concert in Maastricht and with everyone singing along to it, it was very moving. When he played it on the last concert Sunday night it brought tears to my eyes ~ The Red Rose Cafe was where our trip started, and in a way ... his playing of it Sunday was ending it ... So many wonderful memories! ~Sue :)
