WHERE THE FINS MEET THE FRETS CD (FMFCD02)
“Where the Fins Meet the Frets” is a collection of 16 original tunes recorded and performed by my Ketchikan based band, the Ratfish Wranglers, in the spring of 2007. After a year of tweaking the dials with Stephen Jackson and Albert McDonnel at the controls we declared it fully baked. The CD features some incredible musical contributions by all the band members.

The eco-friendly CD ‘digipac’ includes a glorious 16 page full color, densely illustrated lyric book designed by Laura Lucas of Juneau. The CD itself features a blazing hot pink ratfish with glittering silver eyes. What can I say? We poured it on!

Core band members:
Ray Troll- guitar/vocals
Shauna Lee: vocals
Dave Rubin: guitar/clarinet
Amos Hopkins: bass
Craig Koch: percussion, vocals
Patrick Troll (my son!): drums

Various guest musicians appear on the CD including Alejandro Chavarria, Teresa Varnell, Bob Banghart, Kim Kleinschmidt, Austin Hays, and members of the Ketchikan High School choir (!!).
