Who is he? He loves what he's doing I know that much for certain! Anyone that plays the guitar has to love what he's doing. Playing the guitar isn't easy. It takes patients, commitment, lots of practice and hard work. Oh, did I mention pratice! And get ready to have numb-sore finger tips, I know because I gave playing the guitar a go and it's not easy! And who has rubber fingers anyway! If you have tried playing or if you do play the guitar you know what I'm talking about. So, give credit where credit is due. Ike really loves music and guitars!
