If Joe had remained in the James Gang for a while longer, they would have met circa 1972 when Keith Olsen was working with the James Gang while Stevie and Lindsey were living in his house:


The best memory was when Stevie and Lindsey lived with me in my little Coldwater Cyn house in LA.... I was going to NYC to mix a live concert in Central Park for the James Gang.... Stevie and Lindsey's car had blown its transmission... so I lent them my car.... only if they would drive me to where the Limo was picking up the band at 5:00am .... and when I returned 3 days later pick me back up.... You have to imagine the next part... Stevie in a long heavy cotton robe... trying to drive a stick shift car... where the end of the robe got caught up in the pedals.... As she drove away (after dropping me off) the lead singer for the James Gang said " Keith, you'll never see that car again.." Well I said that he was crazy-- she only had to go 1.5 miles.....

I flew to NYC and went directly to Central Park.... got to the hotel at around 11:00pm EST... had a message that said call home ASAP!

I called ... Lindsey got on the phone... and told me everyone was OK, but the car was in my neighbors bedroom....... Stevie had parked the car, pulled on the brake...(1 Click), and went back to bed... the car rolled down the hill, flipped end over end 3 times and was hurled through the air and into the bedroom of the house below me.

But Joe had left the James Gang at the end of 1971, and the lead singer he mentions was someone else.
