    Happy Birthday to you Manoe.
    I admire her versatility to be able to play so many different instuments - I believe the bagpipes are quite difficult to play. I wonder if she will learn to play the didgeredoo for our Australian concerts. Only 247 days to go!

    An Especially Wonderful Happy Birthday to "Manoe", I wish you a day full of surprises and happiness in it, a day that is yours every hour, every minute filled with much laughter and cheer to remember the rest of the year. You are such a special person, you brighten up the stage with your fellow young ladies filled with little unexpected surprises
    to fill all our hearts with laughter and much appreciation to the "music" you all create and look so easy to do. Have a Wonderful Day. Love and Hugs.

      Happy Birthday, Manoe!

      You are one of the most visible JSO members in the orchestra.  I believe I first noticed you, blowing the whistle. 

      To me, your most memorable appearance was when you & Renata were both vying for the audience attention, you going with rock music & Renta going with Heidi.

      Thank you for your versility & musical contributions to concerts on DVD & during concerts on tour.

             Bill In Arizona
      P.S.   I have a personal message for you from Renata.........Bill <sticks his tongue out at Manoe>  ....rotflmao

    I think somehow we overlooked an Andre fan who has a birthday today, the 11th. Remember Anne Buch? It's her birthday today. Remember the "Straussmobile" taxi that her husband drove. You can find the story on the 'featured fans' section. Happy Birthday Anne.

       Belated, Happy Birthday wishes, Marcel.

      Keep your eye on your mailbox, I've sent you a 5"x7" photo enlargement of you that I took during the 2008 concert here in Phoenix.

      It is the best, sharpest, clearest, photo I've ever taken of any JSO member.  You were on stage with the drum, in the midst of Bolero.  Your hands are ever so slightly blurred, which conveys the rapid movement, yest everything else is in perfect focus, even the JSO members in the background.

      Yes, Marcel....your photo has made the cut & will be added to my photo T shirt, along with the other photos.  I eagerly await the return of Andre, you & the rest of the JSO to Phoenix, Arizona, hopefully sometime in 2009.

      I took a couple of other photos of other JSO members during the 2008 concert here in Phoenix, however I'm not going to reveal their names.  It will give you & all the other JSO members something to look forward to. <g>

      Happy Birthday, Jet aka Concertmistress <g> 

      Surely you are enjoying these days at home, knowing you can "go home" at night, after rehearsals, for the next couple of weeks.  Thanks you for being part of the concert tours for so many, many years.

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY MR BILL!
    You "cheeky chartreuse character" you. I think it was one of the Australian fans
    who came up with that name and it suits you perfectly!
    "cheeky"=impertinate, bold,saucy....yep
    "chartreuse"= yellow-green or green-yellow, your favorite color,
    and I'd like to know why.
    "character"=distinctive, peculiar. yep
    It really does fit.
    So... whatever you do today, have a good one.

    "When green is all there is to be
    It could make you wonder why
    But why wonder why wonder
    I am green, and it'll do fine
    It's beautiful, and I think it's what I want to be "(Kermit)

    Happy Birthday, Mirusia
    It's hard to believe you've been with André & the JSO for over a year.  Surely, you already have so many memories you've forgotten some of them <g>

    It was really enjoyable meeting you in person during the "meet & greet", prior to the 8 Dec 2007 concert here in Phoenix, Arizona.  Thanks again for the autographed photo & for your memorable performance.  I still enjoy listening to your CD. 

    If anyone is interested in reading a full report on Mirusia's CD, go here . Look in the replies for Henrietta, that reply is from Mirusia's mother.

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you, Roland Lafosse.You are our "superman"! Enjoy your day.

    Happy Birthday Roland Lafosse ,

    You really seemd to be enjoying yourself during the Schönbrunn DVD Feuerfest number.

    I have several photos of you recreating the same number during the 8 Dec 2007 concert here in Phoenix & enjoyed seeing you, in person.

    I hope the day is memorable in some way. Hopefully, learning some of the famous people born  &  things in history  that have occurred on your birthday will contribute to your day

    Since I'm giving you some historical info about your birthdate, I'm going to also provide the same historical birthdate info for:
    Manoe..... 10 Mar    famous people .....things in history
    Marcel .....  19 Mar      famous people.....things in history
    Jet .....          22 Mar       famous people .....things in history
    Mirusia     ..... 29 Mar       famous people.....things in history

    BTW, if any of the other JSO member goes to look up the historical info on their birthdate before I give them the link  4 terrible things will happen:
    1. The JSO member who peeks ahead of time will lose all interest in members of the opposite sex

    2.  A terrible curse of unimagineable consequences will be cast on you & those around you

    3. A pox will befall all who are immediate members of your family

    4.  You will incur my wrath

    This     especially means you, Resie, Frank, Nathalie, & Ruud
