TORONTO,
CANADA When a company celebrates 50 years of existence it is
a big deal. When Chum radio lights the 50 candles it's a humungos
city celebration. One of the hottest dj's to hit the airwaves,
was a good looking young man with a voice that said RADIO. Scott
Carpenter returned to the helm as comfortable as he was 30 years
ago when he hosted The Scott Carpenter Show. The Boogie Man as
he was and is still known. displayed the same enthusiasm on air
today as if it were yesteryear. Chum has been spinning hits and
entertaining the metropolis since we can remember. Jimi and his
band Abraham's Children have a lot to thank the monster of AM
radio, they've been playing his music since 1972. When Jimi received
an email from Scott asking if he would be his guest artist while
in Toronto, Jimi was honored. He remembers the Boogie Man and
all the kind words he would always say about AC. Jimi thought
it would be fun to bring Nick Mancuso along for some humorous
tech decor. They arrived at the landmark station and were greeted
by Brad Jones program director.The studio was buzzing and the
air was so thick of nostalgia you'd swear Elvis was hanging around.
Jimi and Nick settled in their chairs and the circus began. cheers...2007

CANADA D' EH There's something magical, without getting too ethereal,
when a group of people can get together for a common goal and
enjoy the spirits of a traditional patriotic celebration.The
host was funny and charming, innocently jabbing his American
cronies and praising the humbleness of Canada. I think. Dave

Troiano (con't) - What have we here mon ami?....why, it's our pop
rocker friend Jimi Bertucci and the rebel of soul David Clayton Thomas. The two caught up at the 2ND Annual Domenic Troiano
Tribute "We All Need Love". It was a who's who of musica
Canadiana moguls and entertainers. From the aging artists, ex-record
executives, engineers, roadies, radio personalities and some
others that just wanted to be there to honor one of the most
talented musicians ever to emerge from the great white north.
Held at the prestigious Palais Royale on Toronto's picturesque
lakefront, the night could not have been more perfect. The venue
has recently undergone an impressive face lift that even further
enhanced the classic deco look it was once known for. The big
moon reflected its almost full light off the calm dark lake.
The music echoed for miles in celebration and the memories of
a great artist danced on the glistening waters. The gala was
emceed by seventies radio personality John Donabie. Guests and
performers included Brenda Russell, John Finlay & The Checkmates,
Doug Riley, Bernie LaBarge, Wayne St. John, Howard Ayee, Sam
Consiglio, Shawne Jackson, Prakash John, Jay Jackson, Bob Seagarini,
Seb Agnello, George Semkiew, Tom Wilson, Roy Kenner, Mike Sloski
and many many others. We drank, sang to familiar songs and conversed
about our friend. We all had stories or accolades to spread around...speaking
of which, Jimi had a bone to pick with DCT. He walked up to David
and insisted that he apologize for his rude behavior when Jimi
was a mere 13 year old curious young boy. During that time, Jimi
could often be found at the top of the stairs of The Concord
Tavern where DCT and The Shays would rehearse. One day while
Jimi was soaking in the sounds ears afull, Mr. Clayton walked
up behind him, grabbed him by his shirt collar and told him "if
you don't leave I'm going to throw you down the f***in stairs".....wow
was that not so cool.... David pondered for a minute and said
"Jimi, I can't remember, I threw so many people down the
stairs". The celebratory festivities also included a silent
auction where one-of-a-kind signed photographs the likes of Sylvester
Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Justin Timberlake, etc. etc.
were up for bid. Proceeds benefited the Toronto East General
Hospital where Domenic was treated and eventually lost his battle
with prostate cancer in 2005. It was truly a magical setting
to honor a Canadian musical icon. June 2007 - Reporter Kant Gettalon

oronto Little Italy - Film and Television star Nick Mancuso known
for his hit tv series Stingray and pop rocker Jimi Bertucci enjoying
a cappucino at the landmark cafe Ill Diplomatico in Toronto's
Little Italy. Jimi and Nick have been friends for some time.
Both were born in Calabria, Italy and arrived in Canada around
the same time. They recently hooked up in Los Angeles to discuss
their upcoming project that will see their native land as a cultural
film center. When we spoke to them in Beverly Hills, they told
us that plans were in the works to turn Serra San Bruno, Jimi's
birthplace, into a center where Europe and all countries could
meet and present their works in a film festival setting. Actors,
directors and producers such as Frank Mancuso, Francis Ford Coppolla,
Martin Scorsese, Robert DeNiro, Al Pacino, Ben Gazzara, John
Travolta and other Italian decendants will guest the events with
hopes that their insight to the industry will deliver a postive
message and encourage young actors, filmmakers and directors
to explore a wide spectrum to making and marketing movies. WE HAVE AUDIOBOOKS read by Nick Mancuso |
