Pike Shakey's Shakey's Songbook (pdf)
-
- During the 1960s,
Shakey’s Pizza Parlor at 7355 Kingston Pike sat just down
the road
- from where the climactic
final scene of the 1958 cult classic "Thunder Road"
took place.
- Spurred by the movie's
legacy and Kingston Pike’s reputation as Knoxville's premier
cruising strip,
- the Shakey’s
parking lot regularly overflowed with hot rods, rumbling muscle
cars, and
- suspicious-looking
rides that seemed built to haul 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).
- To get a better feel
for what it was like, read the "Mustache
Guy" story below.
-
- 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.
