    John: I frequently visit both Andre
    fan websites and haven't noticed a
    lot of similar articles except the
    recent one about Andre and Marjorie. I personally appreciate your translation expertise and agree that YOU should receive full
    recognition for that work. I have done a couple of concert reports for the other website and they were
    very careful about photo rights. I
    believe both websites are Not For
    Profit and just seek to keep fans
    fully informed about Andre and the
    Johann Strauss Orchestra. The latest Andre/Marjorie Article was
    exceptional so I hope all persons
    involved with the latest act of
    alleged piracy reconsider past
    behavior and try harder to attain a
    higher standard of ethics. Keep up
    the dedicated work John. We ALL greatly appreciate what you contribute.

    I am so pleased to see this post. When I read Ineke's facebook comment I was unsure as to the "other site" reference. Now I see it all in the right perspective and I wish to assure all connected with the Harmony Parlor and the Movie Site that I am 100% behind all of you and fully appreciate all the hard work you put into the translations and keeping us up to date with all things 'Andre'. My day begins and ends with visits to your sites. Please continue with your good work.

  4. I am also one of those who visit the various websites and article that I read about Andre and Marjorie at Harmony Parlor "was so beautiful and marvelous.

    I'm glad there are people as Johh can and will give time to translate so it is possible for the world to follow and I personally respect you for this great work and ask you to continue.

    I as a Dane is thankful to be able to enter the Harmony Parlor "it is a very beautiful page, but gets upset when I read this message. It's not nice to take from each other's sides, and certainly not without disclosing who behind the great work.

    But ultimately it's all about sharing each others joys of the beautiful music and keep fans informed about Andre Rieu and JSO
    and hope that as many as possible benefit from these translations.

    Thank you for the great work and send my best wishes for a Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year to you all

    John - you do such great, unselfish hard work on behalf of the World-wide legion of english-speaking Andre fans. I am "in the Parlor" every day and don't know what I would do without all of you. It is very disappointing to discover that anyone "connected" with Maestro Andre could be anything other than a thoroughly thoughtful, caring and nice person - taking their lead from the great man himself. The practice of "stealing" your translated articles is bad, bad, bad. Personally, the only sites I go in to are Parlor (where I also cast my daily vote for Andre) and of course to the Guestbook / News / Calendar / Pictures etc.

    May I, if I have not done so before, express my grateful thanks to all of you and I do hope that these unscrupulous "ladies" realise what they are doing is wrong.

  8. There is an old saying " cheats never prosper" and how true that is. My day starts and ends with The Harmony
    Parlor website. You had every right to disclose what this other site have been doing. I must admit I did not know there was another site. Please keep up your very arduous work for people like myself who do not have your great ability to do what your are all doing. Thank you Sue,John, Ineke and Ruud. I am 80 and live alone and you give me so much pleasure to connect to your site each day.

    Thank you for all the hard work you do for us. Being so far away, you keep us in touch with all the news amd we have made some lovely friendships through this and Ineke and Rudds websites. We are now aware of the unscrupulous people out there who wish to abuse the internet and others hard work, shame on them.

  10. So sorry this has been happening. We visit only Harmony Parlor and Ineke and Ruud's site, so the 'word theft' was a suprise. Thank you all for your work and giving English speaking folks the opportunity to keep up with the articles and view the roadsoaps. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all. P.S. Thank you for the music on the site.....lovely.

  12. Hi all, can we maybe tone it down a little bit, not so much here, but on facebook. There is no reason at all to suddenly start using b*tch and words like that. You want to be the better man or woman? Using words like that is not the way to do it.
    Thank you all, and wonderful christmas wishes,
    Mike.

  13. Mike ~ I haven't seen any bad language here or on the Parlor on Facebook, but if I do it will be deleted you can be sure ... some of the comments on Facebook are actually from other peoples pages and we can't control that. :/
