Michael Radtke

Mike Radtke, keyboardist, was on the left side of the stage (from his recollection). In that corner was the bionic Hammond organ and a Wurlitzer electric piano.

Mike finished a college degree during the first few months that the band lived together. Eight people shared the Belleville house known as the Enchanted Castle (Bruce Warren, Ted Mooney and Jack Keller were the other three non Fable members). It was brrr cold that winter -- everyone huddled around the oven to keep warm after there was no more furniture to burn in the fireplace.

At one time or another, Radtke was seen playing a harmonica, banjo, accordion and sax; probably all at once. He says he knows cowboy-chords on guitar.
