One of Beaumont's Finest: S.J. and the Crossroads
Yes, Ladies and Gentlemen, S.J. and the Crossroads were also one of the best and
busiest bands in the 1966 & 1967 era. They battled only with a couple
other local bands worthy of standing on the same platform. These guys were
excellent.
These guys were famous for using practially ALL VOX equipment:
Super Beatle Amps, Vox Guitars, Vox Wah Wahs, Vox AC30's.
