André In His Garden With 6 Mo. Old, "Lowieke"
Ineke watched André on the German morning show Volle Kanne, with Andre as the breakfast guest. The host Ingo Nommsen interviewed him and these area few of the things that André said that Ineke translated into English for us. ~ Thanks Ineke!
1. The Maastricht community intends to build the new music theater in Maastricht and they wish to name it "The Andre Rieu Theater!".
2. The Rieu family has a second poodle! They already had the boxer Tommy and the brown poodle Wily. Now they added a poodle named Lowieke (which means little Louise).
3. A doctor has been traveling with them for at least ten years, but Andre has never needed him, for he has never been ill.
4. People from the German Channel ZDF are recording an Australian special (with talk host Andrea Ballshu), which will be broadcast
on this coming New Years Eve.
5) This year 12 babies are born in the orchestra! And there are 5 couples in the orchestra.
6) Andre hopes Obama will win!
7) In 2009 he'll travel to Mexico, Brazil, Argentina and Chili.
8) In 2010 he'll perform in South Africa.
9) He said it is impossible to insure his hands. Once, during a 3 day holiday in Rome, he fell down and injured his finger! Fortunately, he could still play the violin ...
Thank you Ineke. You are so quick to keep us informed of what's going on with André and JSO. Much appreciated!

ReplyDeleteHi Sandy,
ReplyDeleteI don't know anything about Manoe or Teun. It is strange, I think no one knows!
