Tom is going to be creating a website for Fidelio!
And that is him, darlings!!!

Yes, he will be there for a while so if ANYONE can get out there - give him lots of hugs from his fans and take pictures so we can put them on his website when it's completed!

It amazing how one entertainer who was on the Magic for so long has touched so many of our hearts and we still want more of him!

Doesn't seem to matter that he is no longer there, we still love him and are in his following - he is a class act, that's for sure!

When he's given final approval for his website, I'll be putting a link to it on my signature.

FIDELIO ROCKS!

DUELING PIANOS RULE!

We live in Syracuse, NY - hometown of Fidelio and he is at the Lizard Lounge at Turning Stone Casino on Thurs., Friday, and Saturday evenings through May. It is located 32 miles east of Syracuse off the Verona Exit #33 of the New York State Thruway. We enjoyed Fidelio very much on our Western Cruise especially when we found out he was our neighbor's cousin and he was from the Syracuse area. We all are planning a Saturday night and going to the Casino, all of us that went on the Western Cruise and hopefully people we met from PA are coming up to go with us. Can't wait to see him again!!! Turning-Stone.com is the website for the Casino.

As a native New Yorker, I am proud that my fellow New Yorkers are such loyal supporters of this great guy!

Besides being great on the ivories and vocals, he has the greatest knack for "reading" the audience and keeping everyone entertained.

As my 74 year old mother said, "Anyone who has ever gone to his show and didn't like it, must be a prune!" She is a BIG fan of his, as is my 8 year old son - who started taking piano lessons after his first Fidelio/Dueling Pianos Family Show - he is striving to become a partner in the act someday!! So be prepared for "Fidelio and Michael - Dueling Pianos"!

Thank you soooo much for all this information - and I do so envy you all for getting to go there and see him. I have about about 3 hours of his shows but that's never enough for us fans!

Well, I guess where BF and I are going on our next "date"...yes even though we live together we still date...

This is awsome!
I really thought he was going to be someone else...glad I could help!

We will take our digital camera along with us to make sure and take some pictures. We have some great pictures from our Western Cruise with Fidelio and cherish them. Our friends we met from GA wish they could come up to go too. Will let everyone know when we go to see him.

This is great news! When you go tell him we miss him. I was on the last cruise with him and they stuck him and Anton in the Promonade lounge and even though they had to keep it "family" he still played his heart out. What a talent ....

Now I wonder if I can generate interest for a trip to Syracuse from Michigan - we are right across the river from Canada so we could cut across Canada through Buffalo and over to Syracuse...mmmm where is that altas

Now wasn't that the STUPIDEST thing ever to happen on the Magic! How can you put an act like Dueling Pianos at flimsey keyboard set ups and not the BIG Pianos???? Oh please, where were their brains when they thought that one up?????

Yes, I know they both must have done their best, but that's like breaking their fingers and telling them that they still have to play a concert! SHEEEHS!


Do you know that back in August when we boarded, the buzz among the CM's was that Fidelio was back? They were so excited about it! He was/is one of the best loved entertainers on the Magic because he was down to earth and friendly/happy all the time, not one of the "nose in the air" snobs to the CM's that so many of them are. (And how do I know that? I talk, I listen and I ask questions!!!!)

And just for my other 2 cents, Anton was a phenomenal partner for Fidelio - Dueling Pianos was a geniune act - both singing and playing - not one of the other "milli vanilli" lipsink acts that the DCL Entertainment has offered us.

Just curious - will Fidelio be alone in Syracuse or is there a mention ofa partner?



Looking forward to the web site Rae - let me know when it is up and running.

I used to live in Grand Rapids...it was a 9 hour drive from there-actually a very easy drive!!! (yes I'm putting thoughts into your mind!) We should all meet and go see him!!!

 

[rcdisneyfam]

Yes, it would be GREAT if we had a group to go see him. What a show he would put on for us. He is playing by himself. LETS GO...
