Greetings all! It’s just about February, and that means sales tax returns are due. Oh wait, we don’t have sales tax in Andyland... COOL!

In the news- we’re “hitting the pavement”, seeking out new shows in new locations, so be on the lookout. But right now, I have some great website news and a Valentine’s “I Love You”...

UPDATE 6/24/2009

Pandora Internet Radio update
I just got word from Pandora Internet Radio that the videos from my live performance there will not be featured on their video page until September of this year. They wanted to wait until they had their children's music stations in place so that listeners can create an "Andy Z Station" based on my albums. This is a new venture for Pandora, and I'm happy to be a part of it from it's inception. I'll keep you posted on any developments...

UPDATE 6/23/2009

Pandora Internet Radio features Andy Z videos
Pandora Internet Radio filmed my live performance in their play space,
and is planning to feature one song video per day from Tuesday June 23rd until June 26th on their
video page, and then archive them so they will be accessible from the "On Stage And More" section on the same page. I haven't seen my feature on their video page as of today,
but I will get the scoop, and post it asap!
