Fun and informative article. There could be a whole book written about Bill Avila and how he helped make young musicians' dreams come true!
About that photo of Echo, though. We were indeed aiming to bring back the awesome 1965 Sound, forming the band in response to disco and other music that just didn't "do it for us" by the time the 70's were drawing to a close. That photo was from late 1981. We bought the revolutionary war costumes from Steve Stevens' Stage Front Lighting, and most of our equipment from Frank Andrews at Schroeders Music. Good times!
