WEMU reported this first; I haven't heard it on WUOM, unless I missed it.

Did you know of his history in Saginaw? One commentor on the music site says,
"HOWDY...
YES.. WE certainly remember Shakey Jake!
I moved to Saginaw MI in the early 70s and at that Time
Jake was a regular fixture here in Saginaw.
It saddens us that Saginaw is never mentioned in his History!
It wasnt until the 80s as I remember that he left for Ann Arbor and WE MISS HIM even today!
So much, as a matter of fact that we are naming a Blues Festival AFTER HIM.
The Last Saturday in Sept 07 we will hold the
FIRST ANNUAL SHAKEY JAKE BLUES FESTIVAL
to be held at
THE WHITE CROW
3736 Mackinaw
Saginaw MI
