An ex-pat Brit, Andrew Morrissey has been living in Madrid, Spain for many years where he is a teacher. He joined the RR community in September 2009 as Makinavaja and goes by just Maki on the Song Bar. Not surprisingly he likes to nominate a lot of Spanish music. Maki first took the guru chair for Hands on Jan. 3, 2013 and has taken the guru’s chair 28 times now.
