Barrelhouse Jukes Biography

Barrelhouse Jukes.
Some definitions;
Barrelhouse - originates from the storage of barrels of alcohol.
Juke Joint - is the vernacular term for an informal establishment featuring music, dancing, gambling, and drinking, primarily operated by African American people in the southeastern United States. The term "juke" is believed to derive from the Gullah word joog, meaning rowdy or disorderly. Classic juke joints found, for example, at rural crossroads, catered to the rural work force. Plantation workers and sharecroppers needed a place to relax and socialize following a hard week. Set up on the outskirts of town, often in ramshackle buildings or private houses, juke joints offered food, drink, dancing and gambling for weary workers.
Jukebox - A jukebox is a partially automated music-playing device, usually a coin-operated machine, that will play a patron's selection from self-contained media. The classic jukebox has buttons with letters and numbers on them that, when entered in combination, are used to play a specific selection.The term "jukebox" came into use in the United States around 1940, apparently derived from the familiar usage "juke joint"........So, from all that, we can say that at various points we have contained alcohol and been rowdy and disorderly and also played music. We think if you come and see us play, you'll probably work the rest out for yourselves.
