In 1983 Allan Rinde produced my Songwriter Motivational Course.....Which my friend Alan O'Day helped me with. Among the aspiring songwriters who attended some of the sessions were Jason Bloom (who went on to write for the Backstreet Boys), John Barnes (who went on to co-write much of the "Bad" album with Michael Jackson) and Diane Warren, who's considered one of the greatest songwriters of our time!!! I don't know if anybody learned anything about writing songs ....but it gave a lot of newcomers a chance to rub elbows with successful people in the music business...who were our guests. When Allan decided to open a Chinese restaurant on Fairfax Ave. (in a predominantly Jewish neighborhood in Hollywood) I gave him the name GENGHIS COHEN. I was host there ..off and on for nine years...and started a "Wearable Art' clothing business. My clients included....Sarah Jessica Parker....Robert Downey, Jr. ....Sammy Davis, Jr. ....."Skunk Baxter".....Pam Tillis.... Kenny Rogers....J.D. Nicholas of the Commodores....and Luther Vandross.
