Such an art form and I have not seen speedy shimmy's like that since my Dad started a 5 horsepower Johnson boat motor on the St. John's River in Florida or when he showed me how the paint shaker at the hardware store worked. God bless both these athletic dancers. It should be submitted as an Olympic Sport because it is more entertaining to watch and requires more athleticism then synchronized swimming.... A true art, sport, and dance form.....Now Hooch's 66 grill and bar has some other outdoor seating as well Now this bar and grill is like an Oasis out in the middle of the desert and it probably gets a lot of business because people are traveling on vacation and need to make a pit stop, get something to eat, drink etc. or just a place to relax and unwind for a moment from a long drive to their ultimate destination. Now I suggest that the new name of the place be called TOPAK SHAKUR'S 66 Bar and Grill because when I looked up TOPAK on wikipedia the Native American Mojave pronunciation was TUUPAK. So get your kicks on Route 66
