Merry Christmas!

I open right this moment with in impact is a “new discovery” and want to share it with you.

An individual. His title is Andre Rieu.

Rieu got here to my consideration two weeks in the past accidentally and yesterday in a Christmas phone name from my expensive pal Theos Markis in Greece. Rieu is a musician. Really a conductor of a giant symphony/band.

Lets start with my first encounter with Rieu. Accidently stumbled on him on YouTube. Gave him all of 5 minutes. He disillusioned me and I moved on. I discovered his music and presentation to be disjointed. Unconventional.

Yesterday, Theos telephoned to want me a Merry Christmas. We’ve got been pals for plenty of years. He lives in Greece. Loves Key West. Visits 2-3 instances a yr. Reads my weblog on a regular basis. He has a enterprise, kids and a woman pal. I’ve solely met Dina his girl pal. A typical Greek lady. I’ve spent sufficient time in Greece to acknowledge the kind. Takes care of her man! Even to the purpose of periodically feeding meals to him through fork and spoon.

Theos acquired into Rieu in our phone dialog. I interrupted and informed him I had watched the man briefly a few weeks earlier and didn’t get pleasure from him. Theos pushed. Return and watch one among his exhibits once more. Particularly the one he did in Sydney two weeks in the past. Catch the final 40-50 minutes. You’ll get pleasure from! You’ll like! 

He stored pushing. I agreed. Returned to YouTube and located Rieu’s Sydney present. Watched all of it! Glad I did! The person and his present have been FANTASTIC! A lot so, I’ll watch him the remainder of my life as I do my favourite American performers.

Some background.

Rieu is 75 years previous. Married 49 years. Born and raised in Maastricht within the Netherlands. Performs the violin. He started with a 12 individual band in 1988. Immediately, 50-60. Performs world vast. He refers to his band because the Johann Strauss Orchestra. Primarily based on his love for Strauss’ music. He performs every part, nevertheless.

He attracts a full crowd along with his performances. In Sydney, he was in a big auditorium. Seated a big quantity. I watched a second efficiency yesterday, additionally. One he did 4 years in the past in his house city Maastricht. An outside live performance. At the least 3,000-4,000 in attendance. If I err re the quantity, it was extra. That vast a crowd!

He gives all kinds of musical leisure. His viewers sings along with his performers all through. Even dance within the aisles. Continuously and lots of.

He covers all kind music. Devices, singers, dancers, and so on. He gives every part!

The most effective nevertheless is that which follows his regular present. Most musicians will sing 1-3 songs following a present’s ending. He simply retains going. Went 40-50 minutes in Sydney. The group calls for it. He gives it.

I have no idea finest describe what I noticed. Please, watch his present. Begin with the Sydney one. Hold a field of tissues close by. Assured you will have it!

Theos, we have now an issue. You name me. I can not name you as I would not have lengthy distance means outdoors the U.S. We’ve got by no means emailed. Please electronic mail me at chairmansuls@gmail.com so I’ll have your electronic mail handle.

From a goodie Andre Rieu to a baddie (?) Donald Trump. What the hell is occurring?

The Versailles Treaty left Germany in unhealthy form economically. The Treaty a mistake re lots of its situations. Roosevelt, Truman, Eisenhower, MacArthur, Churchill and a lot of the different Allied leaders acknowledged the error of the Versailles methods and handled Germany and Japan in another way which is a significant motive the 2 nations haven’t offered us with one other Hitler or Tojo.

Now comes Trump. He’s a bully and troublemaker. Can’t go away nicely sufficient alone. He has not but even taken workplace and he has pissed off Mexico and Canada. Two of our greatest pals. And closest ones. Hitler had the identical behavior. Threatened and ultimately went after Czechoslovakia and Poland. Then the remainder of Europe.

Is Trump trying the identical factor?

This previous week he went after Panama and Greenland. Each in our hemispheres. He needs “to take again” the Panama Canal and says it’s “completely essential to personal Greenland.” Panama is a rustic unto itself. Greenland is owned by Denmark. Panama and Denmark have indicated no manner! These nations are our pals. No query about it. Why alienate them? If Trump believes Panama ought to cost the U.S. much less to be used of the canal, negotiate! Not threaten!

There are sufficient issues going through the U.S. on the earth. Trump ought to neither search nor make extra.

The esteemed actor Harrison Ford died on December 19. He had a stroke one yr in the past and every kind of issues adopted.

Might he relaxation in peace!

Get pleasure from your Vacation!
