[Dixielandjazz] Who was "Mad Joe" the Smith Street drummer?

[Dick Baker]

>I just set about remastering the first two Smith Street Society Jazz 
>Band LPs to CD.  Personnel on #1 ("But first...," later evidently 
>reissued on CD by OKOM titled "The Bear Missed the Train") are 
>listed only by nicknames:  Brother Bruce, Deacon Jim, Chicken Joe, 
>Happy Herb and Mad Joe.  I know McNichols, Lawyer, Hanchrow & 
>Gardner, but can't remember the last name of Mad Joe the drummer.

Can anybody help?

And while you're at it:  LP above, MPI 0809, was dated 1973, but 
their second LP, "Ain't No Sin," MPI 3144, had no publication 
date.  I wonder if a recording or initial publication date was 
included on the CD on the OKOM reissue (OKOM 1421).
