What's in a name?

People often ask why is the bar called Joe's Garage? We'll here it is, the answer.

If you bring your car to the bar. Joe's and his team will change you oil, rotate your tyres and hang a scented little pine tree on your rear view mirror in the time it takes you to drink a small beer. Or maybe it come from these Frank Zappa lyrics below.

"It wasn't very large
There was just enough room to cram the drums
In the corner over by the dodge
It was a fifty-four
With a mashed up door
And a cheesy little amp
With a sign on the front said "fender champ"
And a second hand guitar
It was a stratocaster with a whammy bar

We could jam in joe's garage
His mama was screamin'
His dad was mad
We was playin' the same old song
In the afternoon 'n' sometimes we would
Play it all night long
It was all we knew, 'n' easy too
So we wouldn't get it wrong
All we did was bend the string like... Hey!

Down in joe's garage
We didn't have no dope or lsd
But a coupla quartsa beer
Would fix it so the intonation
Would not offend yer ear
And the same old chords goin' over 'n' over
Became a symphony
We would play it again 'n' again 'n' again '
cause it sounded good to me
One more time!
We could jam in joe's garage
His mama was screamin', "turn it down!".......


So now you know!
