• A self-taught guitarist since age eleven, Mr. Joe's musical career spans four decades; he is a prolific songwriter and a recognized guitar master.
In 1975, Mr. Joe rescued some derelict paints from the garbage, and tried painting just to see what it was like. A distinct style soon evolved. Today, Mendelson Joe's painting's are internationally recognized as outstanding, unique, examples of contemporary Canadian art.
• His work is housed at the Art Bank (a government-owned art collection), and in numerous private and corporate collections worldwide. In March 2000 Mendelson Joe realized his longtime dream and exited the city of Toronto. He now resides in a log cabin surrounded by forest in the Almaguin Highlands.
• “Here’s a Bluesy batch recorded over twenty years back. True art always stands the test of time so put on the music and dance your dance. I am fortunate that the featured musicians contributed their time talents (and tolerance of my idiosyncratic requests if any) in exchange for Joe art (paintings). I thank them all once again.
• HUMANS is part of my chronicle. The songs are outgrowths of my flawed existence in pursuit of my truth.
 If anything is clear or was clear when I wrote these songs, it’s that humans do not learn from their mistakes. Humans repeat their mistakes. As a chronic hoper, I felt and continue to feel more and more marginalized like Steven Spielberg’s character E.T. (extra-terrestrial). I just want to return home. Now, please put on your dancing shoes.” - Truly, M. Joe
