| Below we can see a "Google Earth" picture taken from a satellite in Earth's orbit from 57 miles out in space at a 27 degree apogee. It's true. There are actually people in the audience, you just can't see them. Note (Skid) Marcus the human cannon at the lower left. |

| Although not our favorite thing to do, the Melon Farmers even play the occasional funeral. In this pic, straight out of what could be the tumbleweed scene from "Dr Zvhawgko" , we are playing "Always look on the bright side of life" not 15 feet from the casket of the dearly departed. The tough part was to remember not to bop and to keep our poker faces on, so we did not seem disrespectful of the family's sensibilities. Click here for more info on Cemeteries with band shells. |
| Before Wanda joined the band, we had a life-sized cardboard cutout made of her and placed it in front of the band when we practiced. It made the place seem a lot less like a sausage factory and Steve liked to stare at the blank side when he drummed. Note the movable stand that it is attached to. Mark liked to play with the mouth and make it sing negro labor songs. I could not get the bass to sit right as it kept falling to the ground. She made us get rid of it when she joined the band. I think one of us is harboring it, like a fugitive. |
