Standing on the corner of State and William streets, playing his guitar. I often heard him say "On the move" Are you saying "on the moon" or "on the move" I asked. He said "Gotta have both of 'em" There will be a memorial service at 1 PM Sunday, Sept. 23 at MUEHLIG FUNERAL CHAPEL 403 S 4TH AVE at William, Ann Arbor, MI http://blog.mlive.com/annarbornews/2007/09/ shaky_jake_dies_sunday_at_the.html http://blog.mlive.com/annarbornews/2007/09/shaky_jake.html http://www.pub.umich.edu/daily/1998/apr/04-09-98/arts/arts5.html WCBN DJ John Griffin puts it nicely: Posted by jgriffin4 on 09/18/07 at 2:56PM There are few individuals in Ann Arbor's history that can truly claim the title of "Legend". Fewer can even begin to become a part of the story of their city in a way that they become one of its most recognizable landmarks, become a symbol for what that city embodies. On Sunday night, we lost one of those people: Mr. Jake Woods also known as Shakin' Jake or Shakey Jake. Jake was one of those characters who had become a fixture on the streets of Ann Arbor, a sign post that marks the boundaries of where that city begins and ends. For countless years, Jake has been a symbol of an Ann Arbor that is slowly passing, and with his death, that era which he is a part of has also slipped a bit further away. It was a different time in Ann Arbor's history, as anyone who lived here over the past few decades can attest to. All things must pass and with the passing of Jake, I have little doubt that the fabric of Ann Arbor will ever be the same. I had a couple opportunities to interview Jake over the years and had become somewhat well acquainted with him as a result. I say somewhat because not many people knew the real Shakin' Jake. He referred to himself once as a "lone wolf", and this was hardly an exaggeration in some ways. Jake gave much of himself by becoming such a public figure. Only he knows how many times a stranger came up to him on the street, calling out to Jake as if they knew him personally, but he was always seemingly willing to play along. Jake became someone we all knew, he was a fixture, a face that we recognized as someone who was a part of our city's identity. Sometimes, it is hard to remember that even celebrities have "real lives" too, and from what I know, very few ever got that close to knowing the "real" Jake Woods. I had my first run-ins with Jake when I was working at Diag Party Store where he would go to play the lottery each day. We developed a rapport and after awhile I convinced him to come on down and play some songs on my radio show on WCBN. Although I knew somewhat of what I was in store for, I was so blown away by him that it is still one of my all-time favorite broadcasts. Jake arrived shortly before 3:30pm and sauntered into the dark studio, banging his guitar case as he came along. After getting him set up with a microphone for his guitar and one for his voice, we came up on the air and I introduced the "legendary guitarist". There is no tuning up, well, if you know Jake, it sounds like he is out of tune, but he does in fact set it to whatever sounds good to him it seemed. After greeting the good people of Ann Arbor he kicked into his first tune, "Baby Love", followed up with "State Street Boogie" before I got him to play his "favorite" song "Hippy Boy Riding the Sand". Jake was a musician in the old tradition of the folk storyteller. He was not someone who minded muddying the truth with fiction and within these tales usually came some sort of moral of the story. There was no distinction between the man and the musician, Jake was always in character, even when he wasn't on stage. He was a remnant of an era when African-Americans were show-men; the post-minstrel era when they were not taken seriously and there had to be an element of that comical fool in how they delivered their act. Jake was funny. Maybe he didn't know it, but he was sharp enough to know when you were laughing at him instead of with him. His songs were very simple, albeit every song musically sounded the same as he banged on the worn strings, his battered hollow-body emitting a cacophony of conflicting tones. Instead, his strength was in the lyrics, the stories which he would tell. His stories were often made up right there on the spot, though he did have a few songs which he could do a mangled version of if you called out one from his catalog of balads. David Alan Grier, the comedian who would go on to star in the TV show "In Living Color", was in fact well-acquainted with Jake from his days at the University of Michigan and based a character on the show upon Jake. "Calhoun Tubbs", as he was known, was an old bluesman and if someone would get him to start talking, he would always relate how he had a song about whatever the topic of the moment was. "Wrote a song about it. Like to hear it? Here it goes!" as he beat out the same blues riff over and over again. Jake was a fixture for as far back as most can recall. He once sold me a videotape of segments from various TV appearances over the years and on it is a clip of him from what appears to be the late 70's early 80's watching a band play over by South Quad. During the clip, he is seen to be dancing around like a maniac, grabbing young women in the crowd unexpectedly and twirling them around like during the dance crazes of the dancehall days. This was a far cry from the slowly shuffling Jake who slowly made his way down the street, sometimes incoherently responding to anyone who called out his name. He was hard to miss, with his trademark sunglasses and floppy hats, his bow ties and dirty suits, his battered guitar case being dragged along with him wherever the road ahead of him led. You'd see him down on Liberty and Main a lot of the times, sometimes playing his guitar, other times just kicking back at a table at Kilwin's. I'd always stop to say "Hi", sometimes talk for a few minutes to see what he would say. Amazingly, for someone who everyone thought was so mentally ill, he was relatively sharp and always seemed to recall any details of any stories I told him with amazing clarity. Overall, I knew that I was not going to meet many people like him in my life and so I tried to learn as much as I could about him, trying to savor every wild story as we smoked our cigarettes on whatever corner I'd find him on. I learned of his penchant for telling stories during that first interview at WCBN. Usually when I had to interview the guests on my show, it would end up being quite tedious and uninteresting, but not Jake. We jumped from topic to topic, talking about his songs and his career as a musician. After awhile I learned to let Jake control where the conversation was going and was rewarded with some of the most amazing stories I have ever heard, even if none of them were factual. I tried to get a better idea of his life's story and so he began to invent a mythical background, one that I knew he had told before but probably in different forms, as all good stories of the oral tradition go. He was born on October 31, 1900 in Arkansas and his mother called him Shakin Jake because he always kept moving. This led to how he was supposed to be "born a midget" but when the doctor left the room, he grew six inches, which a few second later was exaggerated into nine inches: the classic example of the "fish-tale". Eventually he moved to New Orleans and at some point began playing the blues when some U of M students, who had heard of him, brought Jake back to Ann Arbor. Upon his arrival he was met by a parade of people and the Mayor who convinced him to stay, and so he did. While it is now well-known that this story is a fabrication, he was not shy from blending truth and fiction, and in some ways it served to sever himself from whatever his past may have been, while providing a legend that only served to aggrandize his mythical status. Jake had a "TV set in every room in his house", wrote "Swing Low Sweet Chariot", saw snakes that were 15 feet long one minute, and then 30 feet long a few seconds later into the tale, and claimed to have been with "every woman in the world...and three men". Again: where does the line between truth and fiction lie? With Jake it didn't matter. I'm sure that he always felt that the spotlight was on and so he was always expected to perform. He was always larger than life, as KISS would put it. Who knows if he was that character, if he was really was that person that he created. Did he believe what he was saying too? One has to wonder if he was oblivious to his lack of talent or if he actually knew that his guitar was out of tune. Was he completely unaware of what he really sounded like or was he secretly laughing at us? I don't think that there are too many musicians out there who are as popular as Jake is, who have no clue how to tune their guitars. He is an anomaly in that sense. Beyond all this, Jake was a human being just like us all. He was a colorful, interesting and unique character; one that seldom comes around in our lifetimes. Along with the end of an era is the passing of a man who most of us never really knew, but was someone who we all knew. In a time when people strive to be homogenized and identical, who take themselves way too seriously and are wrapped up in how are they are perceived by their peers, people like Jake are truly rare. Not only did he sing his songs and tell his jokes, but he tried to help people by offering advice, even when the advice made no sense. His gift was that he was someone who made us smile, someone who gave away his private self and became ours. Few people give of themselves in that way nowadays, and even fewer do it as flamboyantly or as inimitably as Jake did. I'm gonna miss him. On Friday John Griffin will be guest-host for about an hour on the Tight Pants show, where he will be doing a Shakey Jake tribute including an interview he recorded a few years ago. That starts at around 3 PM and then by 4 or so we should be back to regular Tight Pants programming http://www.wcbn.org/listen.html ================ Review for AMG ["On The Move" CD]? by arwulf arwulf Seasoned citizens of Ann Arbor, Michigan know Shakin Jake Woods as an ever-vigilant presence along the main thoroughfares of the city. A few might even remember Jake's appearance at the 1973 Ann Arbor Blues & Jazz Festival. Wearing a snowy white suit with a carefully folded pink terry cloth towel over one shoulder, Jake sang "Baby Love" from on-stage -- not the "Baby Love" associated with the Supremes, but his own potent invention. Dr. Ed Special has now produced the definitive Shakin Jake album, obtainable from Jake himself on the street. Back in '73, Jake's voice was much deeper, and his booming "haw haw haw!" could be heard from far away. Over the years the voice became a bit higher and more like a stage whisper. The performances on this disc were recorded at the studios of WCBN FM, engineered by Charlie White in December of 1977, and by Dan Gunning in March of 1978. Presiding as a one-man vaudeville revue, Jake interrupts each of his songs in order to tell a joke, then finishes with a flourish. His "jokes" are actually surrealistic folk tales of great cosmic import. Standard characters in Jake's jokes are the Signifying Monkey, the Three Wise Men, the Alligator, the Goat, God, and the Devil. We know these are jokes because he introduces them as jokes and laughs loudly in a shrill voice after each joke is told -- while singing his out-chorus. Jake uses two chords on the guitar: open and closed, either clamping the strings with his entire hand or strumming without holding on to any strings whatsoever. This actually works really well, and he's damned good at it. He chugs away hypnotically -- a bit like early John Lee Hooker -- only even more percussive and a whole lot grittier, perfectly in tune with himself according to his own system. Some of Jake's words bring to mind Captain Beefheart ("Pink Spare Woman") or Blind Willie Johnson (&"The Devil Song.") He preaches like Rev. Gary Davis and gives good advice as though addressing a roomful of grandchildren. He recounts in detail his act of valor in rescuing a girl from a burning building, and cheerfully explains how, on another occasion, he outran the wind. Forget how you think music or language is supposed to sound. These 30 brief tracks taken consecutively may result in a complete reassessment of reality as we know it. =============== Here is more Jake on WFMU's Beware of the Blog http://blog.wfmu.org/freeform/2006/06/on_the_move_mp3.html "The whole world's gonna miss me" - Jake Woods Ed From pl1x at earthlink.net Mon Sep 24 21:48:45 2007 From: pl1x at earthlink.net (PeterALopez) Date: Tue, 25 Sep 2007 00:48:45 -0400 (GMT-04:00) Subject: [Rumori] MediaDefender Remix Competition (noise p2p interdictors) Message-ID: <31215961.1190695726023.JavaMail.root@elwamui-milano.atl.sa.earthlink.net> http://startlingmoniker.wordpress.com/2007/09/20/mediadefender-remixes-chopped-screwed/ Contest to create butchered/chopped/beaten/screwed/deconstructed remixes.
