We used to call him "Shakin Jake" back in the 70s!

He lived in Saginaw in the 60's he was old then, I notice he gone one summer in 83
and nobody knew where he went. Glad to See A2 took him to heart, I heard he passed in 2007, but somehow I still wanted to check up on him. His life would make a great movie, if anyone knew anything about him, he was everyones friend but we knew so little about him.

I was born and raised in Ann Arbor. From the time I was allowed to go downtown at an early age I always remember seeing Mr. Jake. He was a friendly guy who always had a great word! I can not imagine A2 without Jake. Rest in peace my friend.

I lived in Ann Arbor from 1982-1985. I remember seeing Shakey Jake quite a bit. I just found out he died a year later by curiously googling his name today. VERY SAD, yet so cool that he left such a mark on Ann Arbor!

Good ole Shakey. I remember seeing him hanging out in the streets years, at least 10, playing and having a good laugh. My younger brother bought a CD or tape from him back then.
He was something special indeed.

Hey I live in Charlottesville, VA, but Ann Arbor is my home away from home. I've been going there every year since I was six. That was back when Shakey Jake was alive. I know he doesn't remember me, but I remember him. he was one of the coolest guys ever, and everyone will miss him, even some people who don't live in Ann Arbor (including me)

That's sad. He was part of what made Ann Arbor Ann Arbor (for a whole lot of people).

great video. it'd be better with subtitles since there is so much background noise.

Crazy how many people talking in this video I have met or actually know. Even with how "big" A2 has gotten, it still feels like a small town sometimes.

shakey jake was the very coolest! the very VERy coolest- he always brought me up when i was feelin sad- i knew him a bit downtown from childhood. . . . ann arbor won't be the same without him-- its gotten so upscale and lame, and now he won't be there to remind us all what the city REALLY is all about. . . .
