WHAT's NEW
[Top (page index)] [Up] [Down] [Bottom (site index)]What's new on this web page?
If you see the date changing on this page, without an announcement in this section, it is probably something like fixing minor coding problems, spelling errors, minor layout changes, new page on this site (so I changed bottom index), ... Any major changes to this page, will be announced here.
November 20, 2015. Rockbeat Records released a 2 CD set, Live 1971 and 1973. The 1971 show is their first ever live performance. Their 1973 show is live in a studio.
July 18, 2005. I just noticed that the ezBoard message board that I had set up for this web site had been deleted. Since restoration of the deleted conference is only available to subscribers to their service, and since the activity was relatively light, I not planning on looking for another message board. If you do think a message board is worth while, or you have a message board that you like, let me know and I may promote it here. As always you can contact me here.
September 22, 2004. I just noticed that some of the Jo Jo Gunne albums are back in print and available on CD through various online retailers.
August 8, 2003. I was just informed by Leigh Crutchfield (Jay Ferguson 1999 interview) that Jo Jo Gunne got together (last week), and recorded a new album. They are looking to release it in the near future. And if we are lucky, they may play a few live shows to support it. Their official web site is now up and running at Jo Jo Gunne.
March 10, 2001. It looks like I may have been premature in moving to a new web hosting site. I just found out that whenever Tripod.com is having hardware or software problems with their servers, they put up a message for the webmaster that their site is in violation of terms, and the web site has been deleted (instead of a message about system problems and try again later). Anyway, I believed Tripod.com when they said they deleted my account, so I will be moving, and making chromeoxide.com my new home on the web.
March 10, 2001. As long as I am moving my entire site, I decided to make a few changes to the layout of the individual pages, and the web site in general, including (but not limited to) I removed the counter, and moved the listings of mirror sites to the bottom of the page, ...
March 6, 2001. Sometime between March 1 to March 5, 2001 Tripod deleted my account/web site. The last stats Tripod gave me were 9,000+ visitors per month. Since my site is so popular, I have decided to keep it going, in spite of this major setback. But rather than trying to build up another free web site, and possibly deal with this problem again, I decided go with CommandLine.net to host the new chromeoxide.com.
December 2, 2000. I started creating this page. :-)

INTRO:
[Top (page index)] [Up] [Down] [Bottom (site index)]Jo Jo Gunne was formed in early 1971 by two former members of Spirit (Jay Ferguson-singer/songwriter and Mark Andes-bass) who wanted to focus more on a pop/rock style. Because of Jay and Mark, the new band managed to have a little of the sound of Spirit, but in a harder rocking style.
Unfortunately, like many bands, they couldn't seem to find the big break that they were looking for, and after four albums and various personnel changes, they finally broke up in 1975.
Fortunately, Rhino Hand Made has released all four albums on two CDs (along with a few bonus tracks) so that their music can once again be enjoyed.
Comments and corrections would be appreciated.
And of course, any audio-video-print additions to my collection would be appreciated.
I am also interested in getting wider exposure for this site. So links from your site to mine would be appreciated. And if you know of any sites that allow/encourage submission, I would also appreciate knowing about them as well.
Do you have any articles, books, albums, tapes, CDs, ... on this band that you would like reviewed and / or integrated into this page?
Do you have any other band that you would like to see a page for on this site?

As always, let me know what you think.
December 10, 2002.
Back in October 1999 I put up links to CD-Now so that visitors could easily link to the related band pages and instantly see which items were still in print/available for purchase. CD-Now no longer has that option. For the moment I am putting in Amazon.com search boxes. Amazon.com doesn't easily allow for links to individual band pages in the same way that CD-Now used to. So, instead of me being able to create direct links, I have put up the Amazon.com search box instead. So you can still go to a page with the various bands products, buy you now need to go through a search box.As always, let me know what you think.
