Abraham's Children
30
- BNO 010905 This double cd set has
it all including the kitchen sink. 30 songs, some are classic,
some are lost treasures that any collector would give up their
sister to own. There are songs in here I have never heard of
and of course hit after hit. I enjoyed the interview clips and
some of the comments made by, I presume Jimi or one of the band
members. Listen to " Would Mother Approve " a haunting
piece that tells the story of a fan that gets infatuated with
a rock group only to learn her mother does  not approve. " Dreams To Sea " a progressive
cut that would make YES spin... all in all this is worth having
if you like to explore the depths of AC. Included is a great
little comemorative booklet filled with photos documenting the
band's history. Without a doubt this is the collection to own.
There are a couple of duds on this but overall and some of the
interviews are fun to listen to. 30 stands the sands of time.
and will probably see good sales. Produced by Jimi Bertucci and
BNOrecordingUSA . Executive Producer - Marisa Lang, Songs published
by James Bert Publishing Socan/Ascap order30 |
 Toronto Canada: Ron Bartley has been around music since
before he was born. His parents were the hit-making duo known
as the Singing Sweethearts who performed across the country.
At a very young age Ron would pick up his dad's Gibson Hummingbird
guitar and mimic entertainers such as Elvis,...(more) |
 WOLFMAN JACK became a big fan of THE CHILDREN. His intro of
the band at Toronto's Center Island that attracted over 25 thousand
fans almost caused fan hysteria.The band received incredible
audience attention that security guards had to be called in.
A group of young ladies found their way into the The Children's
dressing room. Todd Rundgren, Manfred Mann, Canned Heat, Rory
Gallagher, A Foot In Coldwater. Dr. Hook and The Medicine Show,
Diamond Back were also appearing. This was the third time that
Abraham's Children appeared on Center Island. The first time
they were called Captain Midnites Dirty

 Dear Abraham's Children,I should have done this a long,long time ago.I've
known for awhile now of Brian's passing,and I was deeply saddened
when I heard this.Words cannot describe how I have felt for the
song "Gypsy" after all these years.I always listen
to it.From the very first time I heard it on the radio in the
early seventies,I still have this connection to it today.Yes,I
had the album,"Time". I loved it."Gypsy"
has a nice rich texture and Brian's vocals are beautiful.I like
everything by Abraham's Children,but "Gypsy" ,for me,was
powerful."Goddess Of Nature" and "How To Be A
Lady" are other songs I still listen to.When I'm working
in my studio (read more) |

COVER STORY ABRAHAM'S
CHILDREN A NEW CHAPTER - "Mrs. Norton once referred to
children as Fragile beginnings of mighty end." Avenue of
America's Gary Salter is now preparing his Abraham's Children
for a mighty beginning rather than "mighty end." Their
release on the G.A.S. label, "Goodbye Farewell", was
slow to start but with the combined efforts of manager Jack Morrow
and A&R man Paul Gross, they have now had the single listed
on almost seventy stations across Canada - a rarity, so early
on release. Morrow's telephone hype included calls to John Oliver/CHEC
Lethbridge: Al Jenssen CHAK Inuvik: Greg Stewart/CKWS Kingston:

 CANADA'S FAB 4 -
Like so many other bands, AC has gone through some changes over
the years. Although the original line-up has altered, the spirit
of the music remains strong and, in many ways, more fresh. With
time, musicians hone in on their craft and in certain cases become
mature players. Jimi Bertucci, lead singer/songwriter and founder
of the band, has done just that with Abraham's Children. The
group explores the possibilities of the now sound and uses their
AC experience as a foundation to create a tasteful and unique
pop adventure. It's interesting to note that these guys have
been rockin' and rollin' for over 30 years and still maintain
a bright and positive outlook about their music in a business
that can sometimes make you cynical. Their sex-appeal hasn't
waned either. Bertucci, in particular, still exudes his rock-star
sexuality to the glee of the females in the crowd. Unlike some
bands that have come before, AC has managed to retain their long-time
fan base while appealing to, and ultimately attracting, a new
younger audience. Their live performance is nothing short of
dynamic so it's easy to see why their popularity continues to
grow. Originally considered a bubblegum pop group, AC's sound
can now be categorized more along the lines of the pop/rock genre.

 TREND SETTERS? Abraham's Children had one of the most elaborate
and creative wardrobes. Even when they weren't performing they
looked hot. Their tailor Jerry was this cool Jamaican.......he
would always get such a kick designing new things for the band.
The more outrageous the better. One outfit he designed for Jimi
was this full length jumpsuit made of purple sequins, (below)
The suit would weigh about 50 pounds after a live concert, and
Jimi always claimed he lost at least 7 pounds per show.....nice
program. The designer would usually design two of each outfits.
This  white satin suit with full rhinestones
on the lapels was worn at a Liberace concert and Liberace made
Jimi stand up at his show. The crowd gave Jimi a big round of
applause... Jimi and Lee became good friends, that's another
story. Read about Jimi 's first encounter. with Liberace in Regina
Saskatchewan, Canada. |

I hope this message
gets to Jimi B. I have been listening and downloading your songs
for awhile now and was wondering when some new songs would be
added, I really like your style of music it is very well written
and played. Does Jimi write all the lyrics and music. Annie Henderson

 Toronto - Marisa and Robert
Davi met up at the Italian Film Festival wrap party held at Toula’s
on top of the Westin Harbour Castle Hotel in Toronto . Mr. Davi’s
film, The Dukes, which he directed and also starred in, ended
the festival’s 5-day long run with a bang by getting rave
reviews. A departure from his familiar role as “the bad
guy”, the "dramedy", as he describes it, showed
us all there is a lighter, more charming, side to the man. The
screening took place earlier that same evening at the Bloor St.
Cinema and marked the film’s Canadian premier. |
 Hey gang keep in touch with AC. Join the group
and let us know what you've got happening. And don't forgetn
to like. Later |

I don't believe
you get tired of touring and performing live. There's a certain
magic when you step onto a stage flooded by rainbow lights and
the buzz of electricity. Both band and audience undergo a transformation,
at least for the temporary duration of the performance. Confessing
your most inner thoughts to thousands of perky ears as they shake
their heads in approval is oftentimes surreal..... To look over
to the other side of the stage and feel the energy is delisouise...frozen
moments in time I call them...photo by George Onuska |

FRANCO NERO Toronto-Canada - Abies
Babies Manager Marisa Lang enjoys the company of international
renowned actor Franco Nero. Mr. Nero is well known as one of
the original Spaghetti-Western kings. His classic flick Django
is still one of the best selling dvd's of all time. Mr. Nero
was first discovered by director John Huston, who cast him in
"The Bible: In The  Beginning" (1967). That same year
he appeared in Camelot as Sir Lancelot, where he met his long-time
romantic partner Vanessa Redgrave, whom he later married. In
2010, Nero and Redgrave paired up in the film Letters to Juliet.
The handsome blue-eyed actor was recently in Toronto to receive
a star on the Italian Walk of Fame along with the Common Spirit
Award for his contribution to the arts. Visit www.italianwalkoffame.com for more great celeb

 T.I.F.F. All aboard! Look who Marisa Lang and
Jimi Bertucci happened to bump into at the Toronto International
Film festival...Melissa DiMarco (centre), actress/TV personality
and host of Out There with Melissa DiMarco. An abundance of yummy
hors d'euvres were served and the champagne flowed at the Italian
Cinema party aboard the Kajama Tall Ship docked at Toronto's
harbour. The three had lots to chat about, including the launch
of the Italian Walk of Fame which Bertucci and Lang are spearheading.
They even took time out from their schmoozing to shoot a short
scene that will air in the coming weeks on DiMarco's TV show
Out There With Melissa DiMarco. Stay tuned. Photo by Tony Morrone |
