ANNOUNCEMENT:
Effective July 2023, AndyAudioVault and #donglemadness will be 100% running from YouTube only. This site will cease to exist beyond July 2023.
The cost of maintaining this site is something beyond my ability to sustain. I thank you for your patronage and please continue to support my YouTube Channel at: https://www.youtube.com/@donglemadness/videos
