wrote the words for the jingles and put them to music.
Andrews was also a member f the "Barking Geckos Video Review." In one scene Andrews played a depressed, heartbroken man slumped over in a bar, occasionally breaking out in song, only to be punched in the nose by the bartender. The video was a potpourri of entertainment, reminiscent of Saturday Night Live.
Andrews has been involved in other live performances in the Lawrence and Kansas City areas. He has been a minstrel known as Andrew A. Capella at the Renaissance Festival for three years, Uncle Sam singing patriotic songs at the KC Spirit Festival for three years and a soloist at private gatherings.
"I am a performer," Andrews said. "Music is in my blood."
His goal is to sing with the Chicago Lyric Opera. He has auditioned eight times.
"I was different than most children, I loved opera at a very early age. It made me feel good inside," he said.
For now, singing messages and various other soloist jobs keep Andrews at home in Lawrence. However, a sparkle in his eye, a beautiful tenor voice and a dream will accompany him to Chicago in January to sing "Vesti Lagujba" in his ninth audition with the Chicago Lyric Opera.
John G. Andrews of Lawrence practices his singing and piano playing in his apartment.
