 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, on your right. 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...Reporter

 ON NO NOT POETRY - The dictionary defines poetry as, "the writing
of poems; the art of writing poems" and my favorite, "poetic
quality of spirit". I began expressing myself with words
when I was ten or eleven years old. The English language was
still somewhat fresh to me and discovering new words was thrilling.
I would often run to my Italian mother with excitement trying
to express the new verbage I had encountered that day. I have
to admit that during my youth, in public school, these were the
most exciting and probably the most impressionable years of my
life. Over time, I explored my ability to transpose my thoughts
to more than merely words on paper. I began experimenting with
communication as a release from the dungeons of my Grace Street
dwelling. My companion was an old furnace that at times seemed
haunting and its constant chatter of nuts and bolts would often
frighten the hell out of me. The comforts of the tattered grey
couch served as my resting place and at times my thought initiator.
You ask yourself, what the hell is he doing in the basement?
It was the place where all Italians gathered to feast and drink
the spirits of their heritage. But in the evenings it was the
only solitude that was available for whatever reason was needed.
It was my space. I know it seems a little strange, but inquire
with any Italian family and you will learn that the basement
was, and still is, the recreational club med. So there I sat
with a small dictionary that was given to me by a teacher to
help with my language skills. I thank her every time I pick one
up. At first my writings were simple and I would process their
structure so that words would rhyme. Later, I discovered that
poetry or story telling was not about rhyme, but about touching
the emotions with the delivered message. I like that. I recall
in grade four, as the class was beginning it's curriculum, one
of the young boys had left his jacket outside. The teacher asked
"did anyone see his jacket?". I raised my hand and
replied, "I saw it laying on the steps". The teacher
responded "lying" and I replied "no sir, I'm telling
the truth". His correction made me think how complex all
these terms seemed. My progression in life enabled me to study
the profundity of the words and language and the clear meaning
of what was and can be. Although at times I cross over the line
of acceptability I can justify my actions by saying, "It's
artistic freedom". Enjoy. ( read some classic poetry
by Jimi) ML

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 it stands the sands of time. Produced by BNOrecordingUSA
. Executive Producer - Marisa Lang
