This Site Needs Your Help!The site currently has only a small fraction of the extant materials related to Claude Ranger. There are likely some even better things out there. I know Don Thompson has a session that Claude's band did in his studio. Mark Miller has also written some things about Claude which would be great to republish here. Mike Milligan was part of the band the Claude formed in the mid 80's and that band was quite heavy from what I've heard. So there is likely some excellent live material from that period. The bottom line is that I would love to have whatever is out there available for other musicians to enjoy rather than have it pass into obscurity. With each passing year, material is either lost or currupted beyond use. ***we interrupt this telecast for a brief message from our sponsors *** Survivor Series - the Claude Ranger Scavenger Edition!
