Little Tin Frog's Complete(st) Collection

....Here is the short version. Owen Otto and Christine Alexander met in Berkeley, CA in the early nineteen-nineties. Logan Whitehurst joined them both in Petaluma in 1995 after answering their flyer. Music was made, shows were played. Judah Nagler joined them all in Petaluma in 1998. More music was made, more shows were played. Little Tin Frog disbanded in 2000 in front of sold-out crowds in Sacramento and Rohnert Park. A legacy of several hours of recorded music survives.
