Wail Help
And now the call for al good wail people to come to the aid of their favorite band (that would be us - the Wail)
In 2009 we connected with a viral marketing class at Villanova Univ (Philly) - they have been over-the-top helpful to us. With their help we have submitted a tune to iTunes/Starbucks for their tune of the week program and are launching a number of online music sites. The very top of the list is to create a Wail page on Wikipedia, I have registered but am still reading and reading about how to get the first article written and live. If I figure it out, I would ask any of you to log in and edit/contribute. If any one is a Wikipedia wizard I surely would invite your input.

One of the great things about having a Friday Night off is having the chance to go out and hear other music. Last Friday night I took Sims to see my favorite vocalist. What a stroke of luck that the John Cowan Band , fro Nashville , was playing a gig in Wisc. We cover one of John's song - Nothing But The Blues - and I've been telling audiences for years of this guy, his passion and that John is my favorite vocalist. Not only for his amazing set of pipes but his passion, ease of singing and completely loving being in the muse. Catch him if you can -
