I no longer have that issue as I sold it on ebay which I very
much regret! I should have taken some photo-copies!

This is a really good topic. I felt the hiring of Leon as Mel's
replacement was the "PC" thing to do, however, Joe Barile would
have been a much better choice. Joe is simply a better
instrumental drummer; his playing and feel is more Mel
Taylor-ish then Leon's. Leon is an adequate rock drummer, but he
just doesn't have that 'feel' that guys like Mel, Hal Blaine or
Howie Johnson had.

I think the group as a whole had some "issues" with Joe. This
topic was in Del's book as I recall? Tom, help me out heer.

Walt- Sorry so long gettin' back to ya but
in late '78 or early '79, THE VENTURES
were forced to 'fire' Joe from the
group.
Customs caught him with marijuana at
some point towards the end of the summer
tour & takin' into account the group's popularity
in Japan, the decision was a NO BRAINER. Mel was
hired back & we didn't get a 'released' LIVE tour 'til '80
LIVE. I do have a bootleg '79 LIVE & in listening 'the boys'
were still tryin' to get 'the magic' back with Mel.
As far as I know he's still involved with The Phil Anthony band!

Joe denied any wrongdoing. Said they were prescription drugs.
Oh well.
I got this info DIRECTLY from him, BTW.
Dunno if Del was able to interview him for the book, or not.
