Jan Allison Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Violinist

Andre Rieu's a famous Dutch violinist
Started learning violin aged just five
My own personal opinion is that
He’s the greatest violinist alive!

He’s known as ‘King of the waltz’
A conductor and violinist supreme
The moment he plays the first note
Of the Blue Danube, I begin to beam

He plays music all over the world
With the Johann Strauss Orchestra
He owns ‘Ex captain Saville’ Stradivarius
It’s small wonder he’s a super star!
