Interesting, Dave, what make's you say so? Any other pix you've seen of him somewhere, as I've not (that I remember) and would like to? Jake has been one of those mysterious just-out-of-reach players that you want to hear more of. |

Hey Ron,
I've only seen two other photos of Jake. One was Jake and Jules together behind their Magnatones and the other was Jake behind a Multicord in a band setting with Alfred Apaka - maybe the Multicord was on loan from Walter Wailehua ? I think both photos were on eBay. I asked the forum at the time if the steeler behind the Multicord was Jake and Jeff Au Hoy said it was, which of course means I really don't know if the steeler in your photo is Jake... but I betcha it is. Fortunately I'm not a betting man, but sometimes my wife and I make one dollar bets on what the tempature will be on the bay side of the Caldicott Tunnel. I usually win. |

The man in the Tacoma pic has an easily identifiable face so I'll run with your call, and Jeff is virtually unfallable.
Thanx! |
