He must have joined up with Frank Z when he was in his teens.
Frank left the stage way back in 1993, back when Tipper Gore was trying to ban songs by Prince, mainly because of the lyrics in “Darling Niki”.
Ike was born in 1956. If he joined Frank in 1979, that’d make him 23.
Frank’s last rock band tour was 1988. I saw him that tour- the band was killer, including Ike, Chad Wackerman, Bobby Martin, Scott Thunes, Ed Mann, Mike Keneally, and a horn section.
The PMRC/Tipper Gore nonsense/hearings were on September 19, 1985.
