Just days later, shortly after the new year of 1968, a friend of Schwartz’s, Joe Walsh (from a band called The Measles), knocked on Fox’s door and asked to be given a tryout as Schwartz’s replacement. Walsh was accepted and the band continued as a five-piece for a short time until Giallombardo, who was still in high school at the time, left. Jeric and Walsh worked together on guitar parts, but in the spring of 1968, Jeric ended up leaving as well. He was replaced by a returning Ronnie Silverman, who had been discharged from the military.
