Thanks for spreading the word; he was an odd part of Ann Arbor and the town is a poorer place to be without someone like him to keep it weird.

Bah, I knew I'd forget something.. Ed Vielmetti posted a video of some people remembering Jake.

What a brilliant bloke. Almost a real life Bleedin' Gums.

RIP indeed.

Looks like he made it to a ripe old age.....will have to check out his guitar music - great name "Shakey Jake."

Ahhh, just watched the video from the news clip - a busking icon he was!
