It was while in college at Washington University, St. Louis that Ike Willis and
Frank Zappa met. As a guitar player since the age of 8, Ike was studying political science. He volunteered to help with the concert committee just so he could get a "Backstage" Pass" to meet Frank Zappa. The rest as they say, is history.
