The band Edge was a group of high school friends more than anything. The original band members were John Drake ( drums ), Sue Banta ( guitar & keyboard ), Roddy Dull ( guitar & vocals ), Mark Olson ( lead vocals ), Dean Olson ( bass & vocals ), and Bob Young ( sound & lights ).  The band was so close as friends that when Mark was to be drafted in 1971 the entire band ( with the exception of Sue ) enlisted in the United States Army. All five men enlisted at the same time and started the band up again right where they  left off after their two year tour of duty. After a year or two Mark and Sue left the band and Roddy, John, Dean & Bob would all go on to be part of the Morning Star Band as well as others later on. Mark is an executive for MG&E in Viroqua, WI, John is a marketing analyst working in Minnesota, Dean is an engineer, Roddy is self employed, Sue is believed to be somewhere in Minnesota and Bob was killed in an accident in the mid 70s. All try to stay in touch as often as possible.
