Pike Shakey's Shakey's Songbook (pdf)
-
- The Shakey’s
Pizza Parlor formerly located at 7355 Kingston Pike in Knoxville
was situated
- just down the road
from where the climactic final scenes of the 1958 cult classic
movie
- "Thunder Road"
were filmed. Thanks to the film's legacy and Kingston Pike's
reputation as a local
- cruising strip, Shakey's
parking lot was frequently packed with tuned hot rods, rumbling
muscle cars,
- and suspicious vehicles
that looked like they might be hauling a trunk full of moonshine.
-
- Here is my tribute
video to the legendary moonshine era, "Banjos
& Moonshine"!

Banjo
-
- The Banjo
Style Collage was
made in 1967 from some of my favorite LP record album covers.
- I played seven nights
a week at Shakey's Pizza Parlor in Knoxville, Tennessee (7355
Kingston Pike).
- Read the "Mustache Guy" story below for more information.
-
- Clicking on different
hotspot points on The
Banjo Style Collage
will play songs from the various LP albums.
- Wow! What an assortment
of different ways to play the banjo.
