The above color photo of the Chandels is from probably 1964.  My brother, John Edwards, is the rhythm guitarist on the right.  Here they are in their Rickenbacker phase (after their Fender phase)

My mother sewed the plaid tunics for the band.  After all this is the era of the early Beatles and Dave Clark Five when everyone suited up the same.
