HANEY'S BIG HOUSE
       Haney's Big House -- A  famous juke joint on the chitlin' circuit during the 1950's thru 1966.  The famous juke joint was burned in 1966 and was never rebuilt.   William Haney is (second from the right) at the end of the bar with a white shirt.  Haney was inducted into our Hall of Fame in November, 2019.  Many iconic entertainers came through Haney's Big House during its prime.  Jerry Lee Lewis would sneak inside as a very young boy and watch the jumpin' and jivin' style of piano playing.  Many of the early blues artists refer to it as a "pumping piano" style. ​
