Childhood friends, Jason and Ira met each other in 1983 at the age of 8. After reuniting in 2017, they spoke about the idea of creating a song inspired by Jason’s memoir. Within days, Ira crafted the unforgettable melody and timeless lyrics: The song, The Magic of Mayfair, was born. Today, Jason is using the book and the song to help normalize conversations about mental health and life challenges.
