Andrew's Audio/Video Files
All of these are in Windows Media formats (.WMV for videos, .WMA for sound), so you will need Windows Media Player 7.0 at a minimum to view them (I hate putting more money in BillG's pocket, but these files are much smaller and usually are of better quality than most other formats). If you click on them, that should open Media Player and begin playing it, but you may want to save them to your computer first. To do so, RIGHT-CLICK the file and select Save As. the videos should play pretty smoothly, but if they play choppy, try to resize the player window so that the actual video itself is playing in a smaller area. This seems to help on slower systems. Audio should be no problem in any case.


  • batting.wmv - 2.5M
    Andrew\'s first trip to the batting cages! He had a blast, I think he liked the vibration of the bat making contact the best. It\'s a fairly large file, probably around 15 minutes for you dial-up users (your getting cable or DSL when?!?)

  • minigolf.wmv - 2.5M
    Tiger Andrew... Ok, he did better in the cages than on the green, but everyone starts somewhere! We didn\'t get his first bee sting, suffered on the 10th hole, on tape though. Another pretty big file.

  • twinkle1.wma - 238K

  • sride.wmv - 380K
    Andrew\'s first sleigh ride! Well, I think we tried this last year but this is the first year he might remember.

  • school.wmv - 5.76M
    Andrew's first day of Kindergarten! Getting on and off the bus.

  • painkiller.wmv - 5.4Mb
    Watch Andrew beat Painkiller on Expert in Rock Band 2

  • drums.wmv - 9.6Mb
    Watch Andrew play his new drum set... THIS IS THE FIRST TIME IN HIS LIFE HE'S PLAYED REAL DRUMS! Sure, he's no Mike Portnoy, no Neil Pert, he's got a ways to go, but anyone that says video games aren't worth anything should watch this. FYI, it takes him about a minute to get into something decent... he's playing Iron Maiden's Run To The Hills, you'll probably recognize it if you know the song, otherwise, just remember: FIRST TIME PLAYING DRUMS (this was literally about 20 minutes after I finished putting them together).

  • drumming_jakes.wmv - 174Mb
    Andrew's first public drum performance, playing with his school jazz band at the opening of Jake's Way Back Burgers in October 2011.
