ike Negal has
been in show business virtually all of his life, both as a
musician, talent agent, song writer, and actor. With his
late wife, Joy, and various musicians, he has traveled the
world performing music for every type of audience in a
variety of venues. Beginning his career in England during
World War II , as a young teen playing for the troops
before they left for Europe, he is now semi retired in
Florida.
This website contains the story
of his career, both in music and on television and movies,
and the life long relationship with his beautiful and
talented wife, Joy, and their daughter, Michele. From
Salisbury, England, to London, South Africa, and the
United States, their sole pursuit was rooted in show
business, from acting, dancing, playing, singing, song
writing, recording, circus, and management. Between them
they have done it all. With Joy's untimely death from
cancer in 1996, Mike finally retired from active duty but
he still hasn't stopped dabbling with his life time
passion. This, then, is the record of an amazing life in
drums.
