Hi there, just a child of the seventies who enjoyed this band. I was lucky enough to be at one concert in little Truro NS. I distinctly remember some kind of flyer that one had to sign to do with electing the band for something...............or pledging to an issue maybe.......I'm not sure. Can you please enlighten me? Thanks so much for your time. Babyblue

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.

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

Great job Jimi! I've been listening to it over and over again and it is definitely a catchy theme. I really like the build up from the intro... very upbeat, clean and fresh... works well with the whole concept of the event... I think the guitar riffs add an Italian sound/touch which I really, really like... horns sound great too.

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 . . .

I will be doing a tribute to Brian tonight on CHUM between 7-7:30 PM. I'm going to play a segment of the 50th reunion show when Jimi Bertucci was an in-studio guest, and Brian called in. We talked about the Toronto music scene of the 1970s, Canadian Idol etc. You can listen via the stream at www.1050chum.com if you're not located within the station's broadcast range. If you want me to do so, I'll be happy to e-mail an mp3 of the segment, just reply to this. Scott Carpenter To Brian's wife and friends, our condolences. Scott Carpenter

CIAO CARO JIMIB!!!! COME STAI? I WANT TO TELL YOU THAT YOUR WEBSITE IS MY OBSESSION, I HAVE TO SEE IT EVERY TIME I GO IN TO THE INTERNET, IT'S SO INTERESTING, HAS A LOT'S OF FUN AN GREAT STUFF IN IT, I 'M JUST SO PLEASED AND PROUD TO BE PART OF IT JUST LOVE EVERY THING YOU DO!!! XOXOXO (KISSES & LAUGHS), EVERYBODY LUVS YOU HERE IN MEXICO, ALL OF YOU!!!!! ELIZABETH ROMO LIZ ROMO mexico, zac zacatecas

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

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. Ron Gillespie Production Manager CHTN-Ocean100 /CKQK-Krock105.5 ...ok gang call Ron and request some AC & Jimi B music....

Hi There i've been checking out the A. Children sites & wanted to get in touch with Jimi. I still have a couple of reminders of the band (a poster of you all in front of a tree) & a poor copy of Gypsy... but I've been waiting for The Greastest Hits..to come out on C.D. Abrahams Children was one of the greatest rock groups to amerge from Canada & i'm proud to say I know them...anyways if you could help me here I'm at Sincerly Paul Sanders Orangeville Ont.Can

Nice site! I remember Abraham's Children's "Thank You" and "Gypsy" getting played on CKLW back in the day. Now I play those and other AC songs on "The Lost And Found Oldies Show" Fridays 3-5pm EST www.wvkr.org (plug plug) and they always get good response! "Who ARE these guys? They're great!" Keep it up, Jimi B! Sammyboy

Thank-you Marisa. Hard to believe that Brian is gone. He is surely not forgotten. The Seventies were so exciting for Canadian musicians. Brian and Abraham's Children played significant parts in the ultimate history of Canadian rock n' roll. Yours in great music ...Nevin CKOC Radio Hamilton

From a 45 year old that just got his first computer, Gypsy was my first download and burn. Boy am I gonna have some fun.As an 11yr old I used to listen to Jim,Ron and the guys practice in Jims basement.At 70 Hucknall Rd in Downsview Ont and somwhere on Dufferin St south of Bloor St later on.I remember Jim as a real nice guy.He new I really enjoyed his music and Invited my friend Brian and I to watch them practice.Needless to say it was something I will never forget.I was to young to go to clubs but was able to buy the vinyl.So if what I see on the list of up and coming tour dates,I will see them in Woodbridge in October.I dont know if Jim remembers the little guy down the hall with four sisters but I sure as hell remember him! I too play music recreationaly and am sure Abrahams Children was an influence. Thanks and look forward to a live club preformance. P.S. I also remember you had a nice wife and toddler size daughter back then,hope all is well. Rick Rawlings of Alton ont.

My parent's first new car was a 73 Buick station wagon. I remember as a 13 year old camping in it the first night we had it. With the AM dial on CFCY, Jimi was interviewed about Abraham's Children playing in Abraham's Village here on PEI! They played "Thank You" after the interview. That song stuck to me like glue all these years! I found the song again last week. Not having heard it for 35 years, I enjoyed the memory trip back in that new 73 Buick Century! Best wishes from PEI! JD

Well Marisa, your youngest fan may be my son. If he dislikes a song, he won't waste his time listening to it - he LOVES Radio Ga Ga and It's a Kind of Magic by Queen -- but when he listened to Gypsy he just stood there and when I asked if he liked the song he nodded his head and wanted to listen to it twice more! He loved the end especially 'when the wind blows'. :) Allan, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (01/28/06)

What?! All the HITS by Abraham’s Children on one CD? Yes, the rumors are true!! I’m told that fan requests were overwhelming. To their credit the record (more AC )

"Winning Side"--a WINNER! Great tune! Love the Stones-influenced instrumental opening--insightful lyrics--power FULL vocals up front are a nice change from so much of the rhythm driven stuff out there now. I gotta move to Canada! Sammyboy DJ at WVKR New York

Comment on your video: ABRAHAM'S CHILDREN - Short Comment on your video: ABRAHAM'S CHILDREN - Short I remember this song too from around then too. I was 12 or 13. This is the first time I've heard this since then. I totally forgot about it. Wow. Lots of great Cancon from that era. Edward Bear, Poppy Family, James Leroy, Bells etc.

hi all, glad to see a site dedicated to jimi and his music, both new and old. listening to the abrahams children 30 cd brings back a lot of memories. i run into ron bartley all the time, he live a few blocks from me out here in bowmanville. Cam Bowmanville

By JIM SLOTEK - Toronto Sun - Recently, while lined up at The Sun cafeteria, I found myself next to Shawn O'Shea of our business office -- the best-preserved grandfather you'll ever meet and a bit of an old hipster. I admitted to him that in a sentimental moment, I'd downloaded the '70s radio hit Gypsy from his old band Abraham's Children, and offered to buy him a coffee in lieu of royalties.He demurred, good-naturedly, offering the opinion that the song's been out of print for a long time and it should pretty much be public domain at this point. I got the feeling he felt it was just nice to be remembered. (Send us your feedback and add a photo please)

I would have sent a photo but age has away of keeping me a good distance from cameras. Saw the band in 1974 in Ottawa at some political function...they were hot and really rocked.They wore some pretty revealing outfits and it showed well.I still hear their songs on the local oldies station.Thanks for the memories. Susan T. Ottawa Canada

Hope you`re doing well and that business is good. I`ll look for your "star" next time I`m in T.O. Take care.....Elena - Munich Germany

Jimi B. Jimi B A & M 9069 - Jimi ( Bertucci ) B's career has been incubating for 10 years since he fronted " Abraham's Children, " a band which had a lot of success in Canada. Through ups and downs he has been writing material which documents a young man's odyssey through the streets, his encounters with society's special cases, his romantic dreams, and philosophical notations. A bassist primarily, his music has a rhythmic attitude which is appealing. The lyrics are catchy, poetic, topical. Jimi seems to be the kind of performer we expect to be a star and sing to us about our vulnerability whilst living in the grand style. He sounds more like a New Yorker than a Torontonian- or maybe it 's just that now we've grown up and can produce and recognize star qualities in ourselves. Jimi B is a classy artist, and his debut album should be well received, because it is all in the grooves - Keith Elshaw In The Grooves - Q107 FM . visit Keith at http://www.totango.net/ttindex.html

JIMI B A&M 9060 With his self-titled album Jimi B has decided once again to venture out into the touchy world of rock. Jimi Bertucci started out with Abraham's Children in the early 70s and managed a couple of Canadian hits including, Good-bye Farewell in 1972 and Gypsy in 1973. Jimi B hasn't recorded since Goddess of Nature in 1975. For his first album, the Toronto native has enlisted BB Gabor and other top session musicians. Gabor is probably best remembered for capturing the publics imagination a couple of years ago with Metropolitan Life and Soviet Jewellery. Handling all the song writing and production Jimi B comes up with a pleasant album of rockers that rely on catchy hooks, while his singing strains to catch the sincerity of singerslike Springsteen and John Cougar. Jimi B's preoccupation with the American Dream makes Red White & Blue and All American Boy seem a bit contrived for a Canadian kid. However Touch Me and Wickless Dynamite are standouts on the positive side of the spectrum. MUSIC EXPRESS
