Lately, our old fans have been finding us, through the miracle
of the Internet, and sending us all kinds of memorabilia from our days on the
road. It's hard to keep the photos organized in particular categories, because
new pictures are always coming in. Basically, there were three incarnations
of Wale.
The first line up (1972-74) featured Mike Marconi on lead guitar, Bob Murray
on lead vocals & harmonica, Dave Barnes on drums, Dale Croston on bass and
Michael Banzhaff on 2nd guitar & flute.
When Michael Banzhaff left in 1974, Dave Munkhoff joined the group, forming
the second line up of Wale.
Then in 1975, when Mike Marconi left, the spelling was changed to Wail with
the introduction of Rinehart Straub, on electric violin, into the band. An important
part of Wale was our soundman, Eugene Czapnik, who kept out sound balanced while
we played our amps on "10".
