Happy "Fifth" Birthday To The Harmony Parlor!


The Harmony Parlor Is Five Years Old Today!
We Opened The Parlor August 7, 2007
I chose this picture that was taken in Maastricht 2009 as it was the only time that all of us were together as a group. You all have seen the "nice" picture of this that we have posted many times. But in getting that "nice" picture it took several pictures to get that perfect one. This is one of the funny ones that shows you what was going on. Laughing, talking, and not paying attention to what camera we were suppose to be looking at. It was a lot of fun with good friends ... 
Sonja who started it all with her Translations and then passed the baton on to me to start the Harmony Parlor when she no longer had the time to keep up with her Translations. John, who is my partner on the Harmony Parlor and does all of our Translations which without, The Parlor would not be what it is. And Ineke and Ruud who run the Movie (video) Fansite from Holland and send us so many articles from Europe that John Translates so that all of us who speak English can read. 
And last, but far from least ... Jann, who ran the Aussie Site for over two years. She and I worked together sharing our news and photos with our two Fansites. Ours from Europe and hers from Australia. 
We have all worked in Harmony to make The Parlor what it is today ... We're a Team of friends that love doing it ... and we have the best fans in the world who love sharing their photos and concert experiences that also is a big part of it all. So ...
HAPPY FIFTH BIRTHDAY TO THE HARMONY PARLOR!!

  2. I remember when I first discovered the Translations site in Sep 2006, I as a new kid in town received warm welcome from Sonja and Laurie, and since the birth of Harmony Parlor, the updates we got on anything Andre Rieu were just amazing, sooo efficient thanks to the team work among our web hosts. Happy Birthday Harmony Parlor!

    Happy Birthday Harmony Parlor. Like so many others, when I was a new fan I spent an entire weekend reading everything I could find on Translations, Harmony Parlor and the Movie site. I couldn't get enough information. I was absolutely thrilled to find these sites and thank you all, again and again, for looking after the fans so extremely well.

  17. Happy birthday to HP. A massive thank you to Sue & John for making it the BEST (along with movies) site for AR fans the world over. Thanks to Ineke & Rudd, without there input, we would not get to read all those fabulous Dutch articles that John spends his time translating for us all to enjoy. Keep up the great work, it is appreciated very much the world over.
