JMP August 17, 2022 When I first came to learn of Rudy Giuliani, I was still under the spell, vision, of going to law school. I was working about the legal community and law firms of downtown New York. Firms involved with commercial defense and representing Fortune 500 companies, countless global names and brands.

Songwriters, painters. Artists. Often. Often wonder what they do. Yet don’t care why. As. That is what they do. Others. Don’t understand. It’s a curious dance and conversation, at coffee. ; ) I never knew why I wrote this song. Other than being passed and panned by Columbia and my homeboy’s there. Yet. I was … Read More »
“On The Otherside,” JMP, Delano album. 1997. Dedicated to many friends we lost in Hell’s Kitchen, and around the world, to a problem so many thought undeserving of curing, and attention. And “Tom Hanks” gave it life. Understanding. Humanity. Enjoy.
And. A significant contributor to my childhood imagination.
Ok. Today I was somehow inspired. And inspiration brought me back to 2002, and a song I wrote, “New York City White Christmas Night.” Ok. Hoky-moky. But. For some reason I thought about it tonight. And it was during the winter of 2001 – Fall of 2002, I had most of this tune, somewhat finished. … Read More »

“Road Of Broken Dreams,” JMP – “Cumberland River Road,” 1992 Post note: It still amazins me how at Quad, in ’91 we got the QSC 16 channel MIDI dream, and sync tone to lock with live 16/24 track I use to get on the overnight. With my homeboys from the Village, I dearly loved, that … Read More »
I’ll never know. What happen to America. Singing to Dylan’s legacy and genius. And. I don’t mean to. So to speak.
How dare you driftwood,Disturb my path and view.As if you were meant to be here,Coming from so far in time. This is my time, not yours!Yet yours has long been steady, traveled and washed.Mine is only a second in time, without incident,Where yours clearly sounds in weathered wood from afar. Illegal, Art – we all,A … Read More »
I worked with Greg Gilford, a/k/a Max Gilford, some years ago. He produced and arranged backup vocals, among other things, on my album “Delano” in 1997. He was shy for some years about his prestigious fame at 18, co-founder and performing with “The Thomas Group,” recording with the “Wrecking Crew,” P.F. Sloan, son of the … Read More »
Michael Cohen. Get in line, and by the way, “it goes around the block,” if you know what I mean. Thank you very much. When I was in production for my album “Never In Blue,” (2004) I got a many a “cross-eyed” response from fellow writers, publicans. I’d get the “Nobody is ever going to … Read More »
