YMCA Camp Echo: Echo in the Round

Echo in the Round

A double CD set of the Echo Reunion Concert

In late December, 2003, the Camp Echo Reunion Concert, "Echo in the Round," headlined at the Prairie Moon Restaurant in Evanston, Illinois. The musicians traveled to Evanston from across the country -- Oregon, Washington state, Wisconsin, Georgia, and Florida--to be with us. The audience included campers and staff from as far back as the 40's to the next generation of Echoites.

The music we played and sang together that day included some long-standing Echo favorites and a mix of songs that were unique to our times around the campfire in the 60s and 70s. Our Echo experience back then gave us the confidence that we could do anything we set our hearts to do. While our voices have grown a bit rusty since then, we found that same indomitable Echo spirit alive and well once again during this special gathering. We hope you will feel it too as you sit back and enjoy this live recording of that event.
