Congrats to Rachel Ford for being April's Melon of the Month! Now you can ask Rachel everything you have ever wanted to know about her! Rachel, how many times have you seen Blind Melon over the years and how many shows have you taped? well lets see i seen them 4 times with Shannon and those dates would be....8-26-93 Starlake Amphitheatre now known now as Post Gazette Pavillion Burgettstown Pa opening for Neil Young & Booker T. and the Mgs just 2 days after my Birthday! 10-3-93 @ A.J. Palumbo Center in Pgh. opening for Lenny Kravitz. met Shannon and Co. after the show by the tour bus! 8-13-94 Woodstock 9-29-94 3 Rivers Stadium Pittsburgh, Pa opening for the Rolling Stones 9.5 times with Travis would be 10-20-07 Diesel Pgh. Pa 11-23-07 Croc Rock Allentown pa 11-27-07 Chameleon Club Lancaster Pa. 11-30-07 Tremont Music Hall Charlotte NC 5-20-08 Newport Music Hall Columbus Oh. 5-23-08 Headliners Toledo OH 5-30-08 Bogarts Cincinatti Oh 6-17-08 Blend Bar NJ 6-18-08 Blend Bar NJ soundcheck ( yes i count this as being a half show that seemed like my own private show) 6-18-08 Blend Bar NJ I taped all of the Travis era shows i attended and all of which have been circulated here on the forum with the exception of the Diesel show due to my Mic cables kept shorting out on me. I wasnt happy with the recording but since then i feel ive redeemed myself and anyone interested could contact me for it or ask Matt to upload it. warning it isnt very good quality although the show was amazing. Bonus answer is I helped liberate alot of the Shannon shows long before the forum existed from hoarders who otherwise may not be in regular circulation to this day. It took alot to get them and i even stooped so low as to pay hard cash for some of the shows you all know and enjoy which may have never fell upon our ears otherwise. Good question though . Im ready for the next one..... Much Melon Love & respect Rachel

Drop Zone (1994) The only one of those movies I've seen was Leathel Weapon and that was so long ago that I cant remember that much of it to say I even knew Gary Busey was even in it. So i dont know that I could answer that question for ya ....sorry...If you got anything you wanna know about my Melon experiences I'd be happy to answer for you. Thanks Yves Rachel

Hey Rachel,
Congratulations to you! Here's my question(s):
When did you get into recording? What recording equipment do you use for shows these days? Do you have any particularly interesting recording stories?
