It has been a long while since I acted like a boss around here so today I am just going to walk away from everything for the day and go hang out with Andre Rieu . I'm a big fan of classical music and it, at times, is the reason I don't kill most people I deal with. I grew up in Europe (and the communist part thereof) where Christmas and New Year were not celebrated as much as the annual Johann Strauss concert from the Vienna Philharmonic. I have not missed a single one since 1980 and through the magic of "There is nothing on TV" I stumbled onto a PBS show featuring Andre Rieu. Few years later, Andre is in Orlando and Katie got us the tickets to the concert.
P.S. Johann Strauss ? I'm sure many of my Mule & Chickenfest audience will be puzzled so here you go. It is virtually impossible that you have not heard at least one of his pieces.
