Sequoya was a jazz/rock fusion band that played original music, with a couple
of "Sons of Champlin" tunes thrown in. We played "warm-up"
for several name groups that appeared in San Diego, including the The Sons of
Champlin, Spirit, Lee Michaels, Buffalo Springfield, the Grassroots, Boz Scaggs,
Mason Profit, Sha-Na-Na, Gabor Szabo, and
Neil Young, as well as a live studio concert appearance on KPRI radio.
