 William
Hare is the newest member to join Abraham's Children. After a
long and drawn out audition process Will came out with flying
colors. His experience as a multi talented keyboardist adds a
flair that the super pop band was looking for. Born in Toronto
Will has been excercising his flash fingers for years. His list
of credits would fill this page. A classically trained pianist
who has played the works of Beethoven, Bach, and most notably
Debussy at the Honours recital at the Royal Conservatory of Music
in Toronto. He worked with the band Amy Squire who recorded the
album "The Race is On" in 2002 before moving as a session
player, working with singers Ashley Alford, Donna Ferrah and
Angelica DiCastro. Inspired by the progressive rock artists Yes,
ELP and Genesis who combined rock and classical sensibilities,
Will sought a form that worked in the 1990s. Will was drawn to
performing when he first heard the music of Yes, most notably,
bass player Chris Squire. Even though he is a keyboardist, Will
was drawn: "This was the first time I heard a bass player"
said William Hare "and I realized how multi-layered music
could be - How deep it could it go" When will is not touring
or doing sessions he teaches. From the bands first rehearsal
and preparing for the Black and Red Tour Will's imput was evident
that he was a pro. The band will continue to finish the tour
and then head into the studio and record new tracks. We spoke
to Will in Fergus , Ontario at Remfest and he told us. "
I'm really excited about the new material actually I'm excited
about all the material but it will be good to get in the studio
and record some fresh stuff. " Email

 Rockin
Ray Michaels of CKOC oldies radio station along with William
Hare keyboardist for AC and Jimi Bertucci give his fans the thumbs
up. His interview was live from the RemFest in Fergus, Ontario
where AC was performing. Located in Hamilton, Ontario, the radio
station holds the number one spot in Canada for classic rock
and oldies. They have been spinning AC hits for over 30 years.
Funny man Ray was very excited to have the guys on his remote
show, even though the trailer he was broadcasting from was so
hot they had to keep going outside for air.The day was a scorcher!
The fellow who had been expected early in the day to hook up
the air apparently showed up much later when the air was no longer
needed. The band went on and the heat permeating from the stage
was enough to fry calimari. AC opened with their super pop hit
"I DO " The fans of thousands were not prepared for
such a wall of sound that sent a breeze to the front row of people.
The band performed all their chart hits that included "
Goodbye Farewell " " Gypsy " "Thank You "
" Goddess Of Nature " and their most recent "
Somethings Last Forever. " You could see the fans singing
along to all the songs that they were so familiar with. They
finished their set as fans lined up next to the stage to get
autographs and have items signed. |

 Abraham's Children 30
- BNO 010905 This album 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. This is the cd to have.
There are a couple of duds on this but overall it stands the
sands of time. A great 16 page booklet of pictures and band information.
Produced by BNOrecordingUSA. (more cds
