Happy Mother's Day
Dear Andre Friends
First I would like to wish all Moms a Happy Mother's Day
I have some news several of you have been waiting for. I 'spoke' to Carmen. She wrote me that she is very busy
and is involved in many different projects. She also told me she is working on the structure of a website. She is full of
ideas and does not want a simple site, but would like something interactive. But for now she just started a simple
myspace page so you can see what she is doing. She has a calendar on the page and she will be working with
Andre and his JSO on June 22 and 23 and then will be in Freiburg, Germany for a week. Then is will be on to
Maastricht. You can find her page at www.myspace.com/carmenmonarcha She also said we can help her by letting
her know what we would like to hear on her first solo CD, so please send me some suggestions, and I will forward
them. I would like to hear her sing Summertime from Porgy and Bess, what would you like to hear.
Then a day later I received another e-mail. This time from Carla, boy, was I surprised. I had not heard personally
from Carla before but had given her my email address, it sure was a pleasant surprise. Carla too, wrote me that she
has started a myspace page, and you can find her at www.myspace.com/carlamaffioletti She also wrote that she is
very happy to be joining Andre for the next project and will be in Maastricht and Toronto. She also wrote there are
some new videos of her on www.youtube.com added by a German fan of hers, just type in her name. I hope to be
able to get together with both girls in Maastricht.
I have a very simple myspace too, you can find it on www.myspace.com/sonjaharper I made some picture cubes for
both girls. Hope they like them.
I posted a several new pages on the site, but have been very busy. I have many things to still add, but just do not
have enough time to do add them. I guess one at the time. One I did do is about Ineke's trip to see the Andre Rieu
tulip, check the inspired fans page. http://www.andrerieutranslations.com/inspired-fans/Tulips.html You can order the
Andre Rieu tulip for $9.95 for 10. Go to www.dutchgardens.com

It seems there was some confusion about Laura Engel. Laura sang in Andre's choir for a short time. She was in
Vienna and in Maastricht last year. In Vienna the choir was quite large and besides Laura there was another girl.
Resi Vahsen. I think those two girls were mixed up.
