Sf drummer, thanks for the Hey Joe info, Pity i didnt meet you when i lived in San Fran in Potrero Hill. I played Blues at Lou's and the Salloon, although it was hard to hook up with the local musos. I always liked the grove that was below the Hey Joe progression.

@wazejames Another friend that remembers Billy very well, plays the Salon all the time, Lisa Kindred. Lisa and I played together back then, with Nancy Brown, and Rik Elswit in Sausalito. Shel Silverstein was also kicking around in those days!

[wazejames]

love the Roy Buchanan version, it had a similar Grove

I played drums for Billy in the mid, to late 60's. This version is very close to how Billy did the song in his show. He always played acoustic guitar and also played a great blues harp.

Thanks a lot wazejames! This version is vachly gooood!

Not easy this peace; because so much great Blues soldiers's guitars and voices did it magnificently; that's why we are sometimes fussy when we hear it differently...

Hééé! wazejames do you know about this slider man behind (as usual) ?... I'm longing to know about him or she maybe ;)

Thanks again for this post !
