Dear all,
Hey Joe Versions has been moved from franzen.tk to https://heyjoeversions.wordpress.com/
Please update your bookmarks!
Franzen.tk will be closed and I lost heyjoe.org 3 years ago. This is the only address for
Hey Joe Versions (By Jan Marius): https://heyjoeversions.wordpress.com/
There are still some references to my page Hey joe Versions with old URL’s like franzen.tk, heyjoe.org and URL’s beginning with members.casema.nl/ja……. .
If you can correct some of these links I would be very grateful.
Also I would be grateful if you make a link to Hey Joe Versions

This is a great resource! I have had a blog post in draft mode for weeks now, was poking around online for heyjoe.org (from memory of a visit years ago) and found this site. What a valuable resource! You kick ass for putting all the time & work into this.
As a member of “Grits”, and having known Billy since 1969, I think I may have some input to add to this project from time to time. First of all, I believe Stevie Gurr has the closest contact with Billy, at least as far as I know. Billy’s producer on the Grits album,”Thoughts of California”, Hillel Resner, should also be another close contact. Harold Aceves (our drummer from Quicksilver) has passed, as has Joe E. Covington, our other drummer on that project. Bobby Flurie (guitar) and Peter Albin (Bass player from Big Brother) are still around as is Steve Davis (pedal Steel player from Commander Cody). Unfortunately, I have to close of now.
