My dear friend Jesse McRae has released his first book , "My Four Minute Life" the Journey of a Very Human Songwriter. Jesse as written with some of the finest songwriters in Nashville, he played more wrong side of the tracks dives and bars than just about anyone I know, has suffered more serious health issues than anyone I know, dealt with more personal demons than anyone I know and in the middle of it all, at age 56, rescued his 4 year old son from a very dangerous situation and raised him as a single father or, maybe if you read the book, you will find that his son raised him.He is an excellent songwriter, that he never had any major cuts has as much to do with the fickleness of the music business as anything else. After almost 15 years in Nashville and with failing health, he left and settled in Bellingham Washington where he wrote this book. We have been friends for 40 years, he has been my best friend for almost all of that time.The last time we saw each other was in 2000 when I road my motorcycle from Hagerstown Md to Nashville. Even after not seeing each other for 16 years, he's is still my best friend. That's what real friendship is all about.
