This is just a few of the 147 instruments that the quartet used this 2005 season. | One of Jack and Pearl's "young ones." We learned from Michael this season that Jack and the community of Jack-a Lopes do not name their young until 10 years of age, so this young 4 year old still remains nameless. | The kids were invited down front |

Rob Farmer "tearing it up" on the washboard | There goes Michael head-banging with the harmonica again (Michael grew up playing heavy metal drumset.) | One darn good time |
| | |
Was that a woopie cushion or did we all just hear what I thing we heard? | OK we did hear what we thought we heard and now it becomes more serious to Michael because we all have to smell it now. This is Michael scolding someone | We were fortunate all season long to have full audiences; Thank you Wichita, Derby, Hesston and the other nearby cities!!! |
