Happy anniversary, Rikki! You are one of the nicest persons on this Forum.

Thanks Taike,

Gathered it was either German or Austrian(having been born in Austria).

thanks again

Good job your husband doesn't worry about you living up to your name!

Haa Haa Haa,
good one Diki.

Just as well he doesn't read forum.

Had a feeling the parents got the name wrong.

You guys are so funny. Luv the humour.

HI RIKKI,
Many years ago I got my first piano playing job in a big band. I had been playing trumpet before. Our Lead tenor and arranger was a guy named Wayne Ulrike from Germany, same last name as your first name. He was the best big band composer/arranger I ever knew. tremendous talent. Having read many of your posts, I conclude that you too have a tremendous talent.
Best to ya,
Bebop
PS: I have been married for 57 years.

Hi Bebop,
now that's interesting, my christian name can be used as a surname as well.

I think enthusiasm has more to do with it than talent. haa haa.
That nice.

Wow, 57 years. You were originally snatched from the cradle too. haa haa

best wishes
Rikki
