Very well done doc. ... ( 1 year ago by tinmaddog16)

Very well done doc. there. I'd guess that was shot about 10 years ago....just a guess. I know the Bagel Factory has been closed for a while. Ann Arbor will miss Jake. I think they should make a statue of him somewhere downtown to honor a true Ann Arbor legend.

I sold the Bagel Factory in 2001.. Jake was a constant, encouraging presence in the shop and in the downtown neighborhood since the early '70s. We loved his persistence, determination, his dignity and unflagging optimism. I'm proud to have 'Baked for Jake.' Rest in Peace, Shake.

If you are lucky ... ( 1 year ago by InnovateOrDie)

If you are lucky enough to know when your heart is about to stop and let your body start to turn cold - you won't be wishing for time to make more money. When you're time really comes, no amount of money will get you another second of life. Life is friendship and relationships - and Jake died as rich and happy as anyone! Thanks for the lesson, Jake! R.I.P.

It wasn't his skill ... ( 8 months ago by CheeseDm0n)

It wasn't his skill in guitar, it was him in person that was so unique, it was the point that he devoted himself to love his guitar, and always had a smile on that brought happiness to others lives that was so important about him, he was caring, and always made you happy if you were sad, and even at the point where he had nothing, he played guitar to not get money, but to devote his life to help others through difficulty with his unique style of music.
