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."

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
