July 14 1973

The company has in addition announced the signing of Abraham's Children and the Ugly Ducklings to exclusive booking contracts. General manager of Music Shoppe International is Ron Scribner, who returns to agency work after threes years as a personal manager of Westbound's Funkadelics. He was the principal of Canada's two early rock agencies, Bigland and the Ron Scribner agency. 

 SUNSHINE BOY

 

Hot juicy loosey latin feel with sugar pop overtones. This is the theme for the Italian Walk Of Fame that Jimi wrote and was produced by hip hop and dip dudes The Rezza Brothers with some fine PLAYING. ( listen to Esperanza now )   
 
 

 Are we reading the sign right...voted best wings.

 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.

My favorite song of theirs was "Gypsy". I also like "Goodbye farewell". It was played a lot growing up in Montreal in the 70s. Another CDN classic song from a time far away. Todays music TOTALLY SUCKS compared to back then.
So many of these songs are so hard to find on CD, stuff from Abraham's Children, Edward Bear, Fludd, Bearfoot, Copperpenny, Ken Tobias and others.

Claire Cascone - I love what you have written here, Jimi. Your recollections of those days ring very true for me as well. Every Italian father thought they made the best wine. It was WAY better than any of his compari', neighbours, uncles or cousins.
The food...my goodness. The aroma of Sunday sauce, peppers frying, brodo simmering (probably made from your "pet" chicken), homemade sausages hanging in the cantina. All of it remains forever embedded in our hearts, doesn't it?
By the way, I hated my father's wine too. Probably because we were almost forced to have some at every meal to "keep us strong and our blood healthy". Yeah, well...I finally took them up on it one day when I took a bottle to a Central Commerce school dance. Needless to say, that was it for me. No more vino for this girl for years after that.

Hi Jimi, "In grade 8 I went to a high school concert to see a band called
Abraham's Children. I stayed behind and had the band sign the back of my new
shearling jacket. I was only 13 or 12 not sure, and my Father was waiting. When
everyone had left, and I was was still inside...he came in for me.*eeks*I guess the
bands truck that said 'Lock up your daughters The Children are coming' tipped him
off. Many many years later...40 ish...I found the lead singer here! Love ya Jimi
Bertucci :) So nice to keep up with the past, where things had brought you musical
joy." Brenda M

Thank you so much Brenda...it was people and fans like you that made us
feel we were doing the right thing. Jimi Bertucci

One of my favorite Canadian bands of the early 70s, only saw them live once but had all of their music only two albums if I remember correctly. When bands had organs and the flute was popular.
 Virginia Novak - Your music is touching and so real...proud of you. Toronto Canada
 Just bumming around on you tube and searched for Abrahams Children and lo & behold there they were. To me this was an awesome find, as I saw this band numerous times in the early 70's. A freind of mine at the time ( Ted Kalis ) booked bands into area hotels in the St. Catharines area and these guy's played at the Queensway hotel in a bar called the Purple Onion Room. Ted called me and said ,Gord I've just booked this band you have to see. I was amazed how good these guy's were and bought their album and played it forever until in one move I lost it. I was eccstatic to find they have a CD out that I can purchase as I always wondered what happened to them, I had heard they had gone to California and that was that!! Great news from a fan forever,met them back then and thought they were a great bunch of guys. PS if you have contact with the band ask them if they remember Ted and the Purple Onion Room -  Gord & Joanne Brown - St. Catharines ON Joined The Fan Factory
Dear Jimi, I have been a longtime fan of yours and have followed your career ever since your early days with the Canadian band "Abraham's Children". You are a very talented songwriter and singer and I love listening and singing along to your songs . They are beautifully written and full of emotion . We also happen to have something in common. I am Canadian too! When do you plan on touring in Canada again. I want to make sure I don't miss any of your shows. Your amazing music has had a big impact on my life and I would like to take this opportunity to "Thank You" for sharing it with the world! Love, Rose
I was on the net the other day with my son we were looking at bands from the 70's, as a thought I asked him to see if you had a website .There you were. As I read through the pages the memories began to flow, so Iam writing to share a memory with you . It was 1973 - 1974 I was a young teenager living on manitoulin Island in Northern Ontario. It was our spring dance at Manitoulin Secondary School in west bay .The band played that night and were awesome. Come the end of the night as you were all packing up to leave you had no idea how to get from west bay to little current . as my friend and I were going to little current anyway we offered to take you were you needed to go. We hopped in your station wagon ( I think it was a station wagon) and we road with you to little current. You guys droped us off a! nd headed on your way. To this day I remember that night. I how great you guys were to 2 country girls and how giddy we were for weeks afterwords. I say you again once more (that same year I think around New Years) at the Gasworks in toronto. That was the last time. I am glad that I could shared this memory with you . Thanks for the memory. carol finch

Hi,I just recently came across the website of Abraham's Children, oh the memories came flooding back to 1974 when they played at our school Queen Elizabeth Composite High in Edmonton, my girlfriends and I had the opportunity to meet and spend sometime with them. It was a wonderful day and one that won't be forgotten. I received at the time their drum cover signed by all four.(Jimi, Brian, Ron, Bob) One of them had the nickname SquirrIey, I think it was Brian. I kept the drum cover around for years until my parents decided that it neeed to go once I left home. After touring the website, I was sadden to hear about Brian, I still remember his sense of humor and how the four of them could be the best of friends one minute and angry the next and it was Brian who always turned things around. When we the girls get together and reminisce about old times, this is alway brought up, I wonder what happened to Abraham's Children and now I can share the website with them. This has been a great afternoon touring the website and catching up on Abraham's Children. Carol Fort McMurray, AB   Joined The Fan Factory  

Hi Guys (AC) I know you won't remember, but I met you in Charlottetown, PE in 1972. You played at the Confederation Centre. One of the first radio interviews I did. I was 17 at the time . Alot older now no wiser, still rocking & rollin on the radio. I'm having a hard time finding the hits from the 1970's. I host the Saturday Morning Retro Rewind on OCEAN100, live every weekend, featuring the 70's at 7. I played all your hits when they were hits. If its possible, I'm looking for a CD with all of the hits on it. With your permission, I would like to add them to my 70's Canadian gold rotation.

I rarely watch video's all the way through , this is really good.
I'll share it on my wall if you like. The 12 bar blues scaling with sweeping , the off chords with piano reminds me of 80's rush , the coulor's reminded me of led zepplin ( traveling riverside blues ) but with the 80's nostalgia , it even faded out .

 Jimi B you rock my friend, the music is awesome. Jake, Santa Monica, CA
  Hiya, Marisa :-) Just thought I'd lethca know AC "Time" CD arrived today . . .thanks a million!! I couldn't be happier with the CD. You were right on the mark . . . the plastic case is very cool and reflects the look of the album to a "T". I'm happier to have a reissue of the "original" with the artwork and stuff instead of simply having the tunes on a Best Of. It's just like my LP copy of Time. It will have an honoured and permanet place in my CanCon CD collection :-) Thanks again . . . and have a great weekend!! Scott .  Joined The Fan Factory

  I was at Boyd Park and saw you guys perform. It was great that you and Marisa donated $15,000.00 to the Abruzzo earthquake. Nice that you are giving back. R. Romano - Vaughan ON Joined The Fan Factory     Hello I just wanted to say I caught your concert at the Roxy in Hollywood and you were so hot..and the music was awesome. Jennifer H.. Studio City CA Joined The Fan Factory   

Very impressive! You know, all this time, especially being here in Malaysia, I felt my music collection wasn't complete (or even my soul) without having the song "Gypsy'. It's such a haunting beautiful piece that I almost melted just hearing the clip. Can't wait to get my hands on the CD. Was one of my all-time faves growing up and it still is. Allan - Malaysia Joined The Fan Factory      Hi there, - What was the original name of the band? And why can you not find their song Hot Love (In the Summertime) anywhere? Haven't heard it in decades but remember it had a cool mood. Is there a download of it somewhere. Thanks. Jon Boyd  Joined The Fan Factory 

 
Wow it has been years since I heard this one....makes me happy and sad at the same time...brings back so many memories of time periods my life that has passed by.....? 5226darrell

It was the home to 1910 Fruit Gum Company, Neil Sedaka , Paul Anka, Abraham's Children, Ohio Express , Shadows of Knight, David Cassidy, and an endless list of others. The founding member of Buddah was a visionary man named Neil Bogart. Abraham's Children first met Neil, when he was invited to attend a showcase of the band, in Toronto, Canada. GAS Records , the Children's Canadian label , had set up this elaborate concert showcase in the premier hotel, Inn On The Park , Neil was flown in with around 15 other major US labels. ,  

 THE BLOG
Encountering the blog sites or forums, as they are usually called, was something I discovered accidentally. I was reading a news article online one day. I can't remember what paper it was, or if it even was a newspaper for that matter. When I reached the end of the story, there was a box on the page that allowed one to express his or her opinion about the article. I noticed that others had left comments and I proceeded to read them. I found many of them to be well written and valid concerning the issue presented in the article...(order the book)
