"But I saw none of the other apostles except James the Lord’s brother."

Now, when I read this passage I read it as such, “But I saw none of the other band members except the drummer”. Therefore, my conclusion is that this James is one of the apostles listed at Matthew 10:2-4. However, our separated brothers and sisters see this James as another person, a third James. How do they arrive at this conclusion?

On a side note, The NAB Catholic Study Bible by Oxford has the following note for Galations 1:19:

James the brother of Lord: not one of the Twelve, but a brother of Jesus (see the note on Mk 6, 3). He played an important role in the Jerusalem church (see the note on Gal 2,9), the leadership of which he took over from Peter (Acts 12, 17). Paul may have regarded James as an apostle.
Thanks for your help.

God Bless…
