A huge thanks to Devon Ginn for humoring and helping me with my first performance piece 🙂

Everybody’s Got the Right to Not Drop the Mic by Melodie Yvonne Ramey

Every single creature in this great big world
Comes in many different shapes and sizes
But there is one thing that is running deep throughout each single one
And that is they all share confusion ‘bout the mic stand

Just turned it one direction and if it doesn’t go
Turn it in the other ‘til it loosens
And then just slide it up or maybe slide it down
Then turn it right on back until it tightens

Now don’t you be embarrassed if you gotta ask for help
‘Cause each and every one of us human
And no matter short or tall or even giant Fezzik sized
Everybody has the right to use the mic stand

Again just turned it one direction and if it doesn’t go
Turn it in the other ‘til it loosens
And then just slide it up or maybe slide it down
Then turn it right on back until it tightens

One more time!

Just turned it one direction and if it doesn’t go
Turn it in the other ‘til it loosens
And then just slide it up or maybe slide it down
And then turn it right on back until it tightens

Melodie Yvonne

Melodie Yvonne, lead photographer and owner of Photographic Melodie, grew up in the small southern Indiana town of North Vernon. She picked up her first camera at the age of 5, and was immediately hooked. By the age of 15 she began to turn every trip, even just to the local park, into a fantasy scene of her own imagination, and started mentoring with many local professionals. Melodie received an Associates of Applied Science in Visual Technologies majoring in Photography from Ivy Tech in 2002 after studying under acclaimed professors and many other masters in the field.

Melodie’s main focus has always been music photography. Growing up listening to many amazing musicians inspired her dream to create visual images that made people feel the way they do when listening to music. Her goal was to help people SEE the music.

Melodie has done numerous jobs around the country ranging from working for bands to being the official photographer on many southern Indiana Poker Runs. Her specialties are in nature, music, and candid event photography. She published her first print work, a collection of images & poetry, in 2011, and has since published many more print works. Melodie currently acts as owner & lead photographer at Photographic Melodie, House Photographer for Purdue Theatre, and Tour Photographer for multiple Billboard Charts topping bands as well as freelance work with many other media outlets, venues, and musicians.
