The Bob Seger song recorded a few years back called Turn the Page continues for the RaVens. “Here I am on the road again; there I am up on the stage. Here I go playin' star again; there I go, turn the page”. There have been a few changes in the band since the end of 2007: Alan “Cousy” Moch retired from the band due to serious health issues and was replaced by long time area drummer Keith Grotewold. Moch made progress in healing his body and then re-joined the band as percussionist in 2009. He currently shares some of the drumming with Grotewold. Mel Bauer, one of the original founding members and long time collaborator of the late Ray Renz (the band's founder) retired at the end of 2007. Les Kautz, the band's 1980's "singing sound tech" who later came on stage to sing and play rhythm guitar, retired from the band in mid 2007 due to serious health issues. Jeremy Kautz, the band's sound tech in 2005, was replaced by a professional contractor, Phil Feser, Stringbean Music Co., Bismarck ND. And, finally, Wm “Billy” Rambough, Bismarck ND was added as the groups audio/video/photographer and historian. AND NOW, The RaVens have recorded their second of two CD’s: “Cruisin” in 2007 and “Paradise” in 2009. So, “here we go again, up on the stage, playin' star again, turn the page”.
