Kantner enlisted the help of an old friend, blues guitarist Jorma Kaukonen, who auditioned and joined the band in June, completing the original lineup. Kaukonen, originally from Washington, D.C., traveled to California in the early 1960s and met Kantner in 1962 at Santa Clara University. Kaukonen was asked to jam with the new band, and while he was first hesitant, he was won over after playing his guitar through a tape delay device that was part of Ken Kesey's Acid Test sound system.
