I soon found that even though he had experienced some frustration with the site he had become majority owner of, he still cared about IAC and the artists there. We had a long running conversation about the future of the site and although at the time I was quite adamant that I didn't want to do a relaunch til the stat situation was fixed, it did become pretty clear that the site was still valued by the heart of the membership, so we did the relaunch anyway. Then we got the stats rolling and did some other vital fixes so what's now IMP is without a doubt superior to the original site. Course I got to know Neil during this time and found him to be a serious artist and musical spokesman. This interview is long overdue but it comes at a time when Neil is releasing a new series of books about his life and music. The man has a lot of stories and there is much to learn from him and his journey."

2/13/2026 2:45:26 AM Thank you, Steve ... it is good to be back. Happy to hear you are enjoying "Shining White Eyes" ... written during my 'Arizona' years.
2/13/2026 2:39:51 AM I was near the peak of my teenage years in 1959, Mortamor - your birth year you say ... I was a budding songwriter - wrote two songs in '59 that made the cut for my debut album - one about the girl I was sweet on in high school - we married 5 years later. I have many to thank for my chance at having a "second coming" in life and which gave me the chance to have a "second shot at coming" here at IAC/IMP - notwithstanding the current setback my wife and I are experiencing as a result of losing our elder daughter a month ago today. Enjoy the present, Mortamor, and take nothing for granted because it is not ours.
2/8/2026 10:00:18 PM Welcome back, Neil... Listenin' to "Shinin' White Eyes," over and over... cheers, ****
1/26/2026 11:42:13 PM 1959: My Birth Year! Amen.(being "born again") -M- And Thank You Neil! (For Your "2nd Coming" too! )
12/28/2025 10:26:11 PM I'm going out of 2025 with my boots still on and with my guitar and the restless wind on my back.
12/28/2025 8:03:31 PM Hello Mortimer, my apologies for taking such a long, long time to reply to your question further below. Like myself, until just the last couple of weeks, my music and songs paid a painful price of going dark following my cancer surgery three and a half years ago and during my subsequent period of remission – still a battle however having spent half of this year in the hospital waging war on related health issues. While my return to IAC / IMP is bittersweet - for personal reasons, regardless, my music and songs will survive and pass the test of time. Thanks to a tentative new lease on life I am still writing songs, the most recent to a new track produced in Nashville. I am currently working on my rusty vocals preparing for taking the song into the studio. Life’s a marathon, Mortimer, and while I’ll be turning 84 next month I’m determined to run many more miles before crossing the finish line. Thank you also for your expression re my multi-award winning song, “What In The World Is The World Coming To”. Wishing you all the best in the New Year, Neil
12/24/2025 10:17:13 PM Thank you, Jimmy.
