This was a really kind thing you did for a man that so many people would've just walked on past - you obviously didn't do that. I sure do hope that he's living a much better life on the other side than what he endured on the streets of Vancouver. Andreé's music was a real gift to the public. I am grateful to have his CD.

He had a heart of gold. If you happen to see the video Andre The Gypsy In Me, I'm the guy in the middle of the video with the bandanna... What a good guy he was. R.I.P.

I remember once talking to him, he had called himself a "bum", wish I had known what to say at the time, and I regret that its too late to tell him in person, but he was never a bum, Andre worked for a living. He brought joy to thousands if not millions over the years with his music, with the skills that took a lifetime to perfect.<br />I wish I could tell him now, that I never gave him a dime out of pity, but out of respect for his art for the incalculable contribution he made to the culture of our city.<br />Well miss you Andre!<br /><br />Thank you for maintaining this blog Mike.ca60gregoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13024943020050908554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7329715273393539125.post-46354258868185341972011-11-07T13:21:17.204-08:002011-11-07T13:21:17.204-08:00I interviewed Andre a couple of years ago - there&...I interviewed Andre a couple of years ago - there's a link to that here:<br /><br />http://alienatedinvancouver.blogspot.com/2011/11/rip-andre-gypsy.html<br /><br />Also very sorry to hear that he's passed on; I liked him a lot, based on what little I knew, and his music was very powerful (I thought Billy Joel's "Piano Man" was a song that had emptied out of all emotional content for me, become kitsch forevermore, until I heard Andre sing it). Someone from his past had been trying to get in touch with him, and tracked me down via my blog awhile back; just thought I'd mention that I did pass on the contact information I was given, and that Andre was obviously moved by the attempt to mend bridges. I don't know if he followed up on that - it was the last time I saw him, when I gave him the number to call... but for whatever it's worth, if that person sees this, it did mean something to him...Allan MacInnishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05394301776870727673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7329715273393539125.post-38288492039198133302011-11-07T13:00:56.480-08:002011-11-07T13:00:56.480-08:00Hi Mike..
