Album Notes

"What Gail Fratar has done on this remarkable album Is to write, arrange and sing a dozen original songs, combining versatile vocal harmonies with the fabled felicity of a 1928 Vega Tubaphone open-back five-string banjo. ..." Stan Jay, June 2000

My roots are in a New England family of singers and players who first inspired in me a true love for music. My grampa's house had music many a late night in the kitchen, and Grampa Play is really written for uncle Ray who taught us Haywire Mac McClintock's Big Rock Candy Mountain when we were little.
