Who is Shakey? Interested to know his story.
Shakey is a sweet young man that lives across the road from Seastar. I don't believe that anyone really knows what Shakey's condition is, or how old he is. (I would guess him to be in his late 20's) You can safely assume that he got his nick-name because he shakes.( I have been told that his real name is Conrad)Originally Posted by Maryann
He has no education that I am aware of, but is able to carry on a conversation (although sometimes hard to decipher his patois), and he has charmed all that know him.
He is a gentle soul and has a smile that could light up a room! Chris (Seastar owner) has always tried to look out for Shakey, making sure that he was fed and clean. He has employed Shakey by paying him to rake, or pick up garbage on the lane - Chris is trying to teach him that you need to work to get the things you need, like food and clothes.
If you stay at Seastar or are there on a Saturday night - you will no doubt see Shakey. Some time they let him get up on stage with his harmonica - he can't really play - but boy does he have fun!!
Great picture. Shakey is a real sweetheart, always happy to see the guests at Seastar. In addition to Pepsi he likes the banana smoothies. He wanted to make pumpkin soup when we were there in February and gave me the list of ingredients. I convinced our tour guide to taking us shopping after out trip to Nine Mile. We stopped in Lucie and gathered the ingredient. Unfortunately Shakey had gone up in the hills to visit his Mom and didn't return for a few days. I ended up giving the groceries to another family in the neighbour and they were happy to make the soup.
