Chicken soup?

It's time for my "Get-well-soon-Jonas!!!" famous tribal dance (naked at the balcony, while sacrificing a rooster to the Goddess of tenors, under a Full moon).

As mighty Marion informs us:

Jonas musste das Konzert in Stuttgart leider wegen einer Erkältung absagen !!! Ob er in Mannheim singen wird steht noch nicht fest.

Which in english should be something like:

Jonas had unfortunately to cancel the concert in Stuttgart because of a cold!!! Whether he will sing or not in Mannheim is not certain.

Fingers crossed as Jonas is singing in Athens in... eeehmm...OMG! Exactly a week from today!

AND!!
