Mr Richie in Walldorf!

Two nights ago the one and only Lionel Richie's less famous younger brother Simon Richie played a live gig right here in Walldorf. Unbelievable!

Brilliantly, I was able to hear the concert loud and clear from my very own balcony, thus managing to evade the rather steep €2.50 entrance fee they were charging. Ha, Walldorf Dave one, Simon Richie nil!!! Mr Richie played a wide range of truely astounding classics such as Hazy (Like Every Morning), Say Poo Say Heehee, and 'Allo 'Allo is it René you're looking for.

Apart from Phil Colins, who you have to like if you live in Walldorf otherwise you will be banished, I think our Simon is now one of my favourite veteran singer/songwriters. Maybe he'll even come back and play at the asparagus festival next year - that would be excellent.

Apparently, he also played a gig in Weil am Rhein yesterday. Here's a copy of the poster they used to advertise that concert as I couldn't find the one for Walldorf. I guess they were all stolen and burned by the angry Phil Collins fans.
