Ike and his guitar:
I know this is dark. It is darker online than on my computer. If he will re-record Autumn Leaves I will upload that one too. He's good at jazz. He loves Autumn Leaves so much and plays Joe Pass' (?) rendition of it so often that it has become the theme for my life now. Maybe I can encourage him to shine a little bit more light on the subject.

Wow, he's really good. But for some reason, it quits in the middle on my end. I'm sure it's some kind of technical difficulty with my network.
You aren't getting the best part then! ;)
But at least I got the link showing, huh?
I've got this image of his fingers flying up and down the neck of that guitar, Annie. At this stage of life, Autumn Leaves or some jazz would be more my style, but it's easy to tell the lad has talent......
Jazz is his true love, Jim. He made a video but rejected it and so we all await a new attempt. He'll play it in November for a friend's wedding too--which will be perfect, I'm sure!
He started with heavy metal but has since expanded into classical and jazz. He's even picking up some blues. In the past he hated blues, but he's always heading in new directions with his music.

Wow! It's easy to see he loves what he's doing. There has to be many hours devoted practice behind those flying fingers.
Yeah. I told him that he moves so fast it becomes slight-of-hand! He complained that he hadn't gotten his arpeggios sufficiently clear on this take. I'd have never known!
Hugs,
Annie
