• The Cutest

    By Andrea Menzies It is not the Holiday Season without the cutest picture ever of Gizmo. This inspires me to learn more keyboard, and music in general.

  • Death Hotel

    By Andrea Menzies I spent the night in a Maryland death hotel. I am moving to Maryland in the next couple of years, and was staying in a Days Inn hotel in Laurel, MD while seeing tourist sites, music band nights, and working on the moving paperwork.

  • Travel Social

    By Andrea Menzies I am going out of town to be social on Christmas and New Year’s and hear bands. I am also completely single, and hopefully will meet someone to date. I do plan to move away. I tried going out in Virginia many times years ago, and just because I was making the…
