Surely Barbata did not join Jefferson Airplane until after the departure of Spencer Dryden - so he would not be on first five or six albums as credited in this article (Skip Spence being drummer on Takes Off and Dryden on Surrealistic Pillow to Volunteers or beyond). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Newburychap (talk • contribs) 19:31, 25 December 2011 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Incorrect date in photo caption[edit]

I'm not sure how to fix this, since it's embedded in the image file supplied by the article subject himself, but the caption text claiming JB is practicing for a Turtles gig (on a kit with the band's name on it, so that part seems accurate) gives the year as 1965. Both this article and the Turtles article state that the vacancy filled by Barbata arose in 1966. Jcejhay (talk) 12:53, 26 September 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]
