André Appears on "Koffietijd"
André appeared on "Koffietijd" this morning in Holland. (a television show). As most of you know, Ineke and Ruud are off to see the Three Tenors in Cologne and then to Maastricht, so they didn't see André on the show this morning, but they did Record it to post after they get back for all of us to see. Sonja though is in Holland spending Christmas with her family and she watched the show and sent us an email. Here are just some of the "Highlights" she wrote about ...
They had a "picture" contest for people to send pictures in and then André would pick the winner ... Ineke sent a picture in and André picked her picture as the Best One ... she won a bike!! She sent in a picture of a store window that had Andre's picture in a frame between two mannequins in sexy underwear and a sign in the window that said, "Due to Andre's concert we will close at five o'clock today, we hope you understand." It was a funny picture and great that André picked it!
Marc and Pierre were there with him ... André said he will be celebrating Christmas with his four grandchildren and his four children. Pierre jokingly said, "do I have two more brothers I do not know about?" André's answer was, "but I now have your wife and Marc's wife too." When asked what he had in common with his sons, he jokingly said he and Marc had the same terrific ideas. Marc once said he wants to have a gallery and buy paintings for a million, sell them for 100,000 guilders and live from the profits? André said Marc's youngest, 'Fleur', is now four months old.
The Mayor was on the show with them and he and André had a competition of who knows more about Maastricht.
Then last, but not least there was a clip of Jacky Evancho, (the 10 year old girl with a voice like a grown woman from America's Got Talent). André said he has contacted her and is going to help her with her career. (We're not sure what that means exactly, but hopefully that we will see her singing with André!)

I love Andre's fan site, thank you Sue for posting all the information and keeping us informed. Can't wait to see the picture that Ineke took. I thought it was quite funny that Andre said he will be celebrating Christmas with his four grandchildren and his four children, Pierre's comment to that was great. As they say laughter is good for the soul. The grandchildren are growing up quick before Andre knows it he will be fishing with his grandson, where does the time go, it goes much to quickly. I would like to wish every one on the Harmony Parlor a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, all the best in 2011. Love to every one. Barbara.
ReplyDeleteAge means nothing so long as you are happy and love each other. I saw Marc and his wife in one of Andre's videos and they look great together. Barb.

ReplyDeleteI watched Jackie Evancho on America's Got Talent and what an amazing little girl she is, so much older than her 10 years and to think that big voice comes out of that little body. I am so happy Andre is going to take her under his wing, i am sure she will go places with his help, can't wait to see her singing with Andre, that little girl has the voice of an angel and to think she is going to sing with the best, how can you not love Andre he is so kind hearted and it makes you love him even more. Love you blue eyes. Barb,
