Then, after he graduated from high school, Joe joined the U.S. Although neither parent was particularly musical, Joe was also exposed to myriad musical styles in Southern California, playing trombone in jazz bands in high school and guitar in various folk groups. His early and frequent contact with political activity in support of labor unions, farmworkers, and other leftist and progressive causes shaped his ideas and actions for the rest of his life.
