 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. Don't miss Abies Babies...really. ML |
 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...... |

- 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

 TORONTO, CANADA - Actor Robert Davi and Marisa schmoozing 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. |
 Marisa Lang and Celine Dion's business
advisor and attorney Paul Farberman in Toronto. Paul flew in
from LA recently for the SOCAN (Society of Composers, Authors
and Music Publishers of Canada) symposium for Film & Television.
As one of the panelists he shared many interesting anecdotal
stories with the attending audience, including the story of how
Ms. Dion came to record the hit song “My Heart Will Go On”
for the highest grossing film of all time, “Titanic”. |
 T.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. Stay tuned. Photo by Tony Morrone |

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 Belfast-Ireland |
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.....frozen moments in time I call them... photo by George

 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.

 Dear Marisa - Unfortunately there are no clips,
photos or any kind of footage available from Bandstand.CKCO TV
did have a small clip for their anniversary show but I don't
know where they got it and I have been unable to secure a copy.
I still have many people I run in to who remember the show and
love to talk about it. I have a lot of fond memories and I sure
get choked up when people remember the show and want to talk
about it. Thanks again for remembering and If you come up with
something, I would sure love to get some copies. - Grant Hoffman
