Frank Zappa and Ike Willis met while attending college at Washington University in St. Louis. Ike, a guitarist since age 8, was studying political science. To meet Frank Zappa, he volunteered to work on the concert committee. As they say, the rest is history. Ike, who is the longest-serving member of Frank Zappa’s bands, continues to keep his promise to Frank. Ike has made a promise to keep playing the music Zappa taught him so well. Frank’s wish is fulfilled to this day by Ike playing with Zappa tribute bands around the globe. From www.ikewillis.com
