NEW YORK - If you thought poetry was boring, think again!
Moving, thought provoking, sensually erotic, are all words I
would use to describe this newly released selection of writings
by Jimi (aka Vincenzo) Bertucci. Already renowned as a well-respected
and gifted songwriter, Bertucci is adding to his list of artistic
writing credits by unveiling another dimension to his many talents.
To say that he dabbles in poetry writing would be an understatement,
instead he fearlessly plunges head first into those deep and
sometimes dark waters. Be the first to read these delicious poems
below by Vincenzo Bertucci and order your
signed poetry by the author. ML |
 Marisa ..... A big thank you for helping out
with the Juno tribute. Larry LeBlanc Toronto Canada |

 Oh Party Plus
– The 100th anniversary of the Ontario Provincial Police
(OPP) was more than a celebration of beginnings, it was a tribute
to the men and women who, for 100 years, have been patrolling
the highways and roadways within the province of Ontario. Commissioner
Julian Fantino and his crew allowed us into the history and workings
of this prestigious force that began in 1909. Our host, Sam Ciccolini,
is no stranger to the duties of contribution and welfare to this
province. A recipient of the Order of Canada, Mr. Ciccolini eloquently
guided us throughout this milestone event. Premier Dalton McGuinty
gave his campaign speech (not really) and showed sincere gratitude
to these men and women in uniform that, for a century, have helped
keep the province of Ontario a safer place. The party was filled
with distinguished guests including Members of Provincial Parliament,
Rick Bartolucci and Mike Colle, Senator D’Nino, retired
Lieutenant Governor, Lincoln M. Alexander, Federal Finance Minister,
Jim Flaherty,Toronto Police Chief Bill Blair, CTV news anchor,
Ken Shaw and radio personality, Bill Carroll, singers Michael
Burgess, John McDermott and the hit of the evening Andy
Kim. Pepe Perduto_______________________Photo by Georgie 'O. courtesy www.italianwalkoffame.com |

Murder
In The Office
... " I will never forget the tragic morning of August 24th.
I can still feel the anguish and unsettling in my stomach with
just the mention of that date. I arrived at the office around
8 o'clock, as I usually did, only to be surrounded by police
vehicles and detectives swarming the building. I approached the
front entrance and asked the two officers guarding the door what
had happened. They said there was an incident and that no one
was allowed in the building. I explained that I have an office
here. I heard a voice from the top of the stairs, "Let him
through officers". ". I was greeted by a Detective
Cantino and as we walked down the long hallway I could see some
of the other tenants being questioned about something. My curiosity......get the audiobook
" Bridge
Uncrossed ", Whether in his prose,
poetry or musical lyrics, Mr. Bertucci exhibits a flair for creating
a richly detailed and colorful visual experience for his audiences
and readers.The setting for his latest work, Bridge Uncrossed,
is the unassuming small town of Higgins Falls. The myth, or bizarre
occurrences, started back in 1961 during a hot summer's day.
The Hemingways, a family of four from Chicago, were on vacation
and decided to take a detour to view the Falls, and taste some
of the famous jerky.....get the audiobook |
 This was the cover of the CHUM chart
that Jimi's band, Abraham's Children, entered at number 25 their
first week out. I remember the first time I heard one of our
records on the radio. We were on the road. It was winter and
very cold. We were in our tour bus headed to some city when,
out of nowhere, the dj announced, "here's a band from the
Great White North called Abraham's Children and they have got
a hit on their hands....Goodbye Farewell" We all started
screaming like kids in a playground. Our driver, caught up in
this historic moment, almost lost control of that giant Blue
Bird. We listened right up to the very end and when the the dj
came back on he added, "I'm going to enjoy playing this
band". It was a station in St. Louis, Missouri. We are saddened
that CHUM radio is no longer around. |
 Toronto
Center Island 1972 This was one of the bands first big concerts
and to their surprise, the crowd went nuts. I recall these four
guys on stage with no shirts on and painted art on their chests
and faces. They reminded me of warrior indians ready for battle
and perhaps they were. They climbed on their instruments an0d
began the mighty roars of melodic thunder. I was blown away.
I could feel the energy come off that stage as if it were a raging
ball of fire. This band was hot. I was taken by the lily pad
review the Toronto Star gave them. Was the writer blind and deaf.
Although the words were kind, the reviewer missed the purpose
of this atomic fusion that we just witnessed. I have never been
to a concert with this many people, what an experience. Anyway
read what the Star had to say.The Toronto Star newspaper wrote.
The most impressive group of the day was Captain Midnite, four-man,
Toronto-based band, formerly known as Just Us. They were impressive
because they put everything they had into their music, going
from song to the next without a break never allowing the audience
to come down. Toronto Star |

 TORONTO - Marisa
recently met up with Richard Crouse at the SOCAN symposium (Society
of etc.) in Toronto. You might recognize Richard from TV. He
co-hosts the award-winning television show Reel to Real, Canada’s
longest running movie review program. The two had lots to chat
about, including the exciting new reality TV sitcom Marisa's
currently working on with Jimi Bertucci and Nick Mancuso called
"All About Me". Aside from his small screen work, Richard
has written a number of books. In fact, he once wrote a biography
on Celine Dion...hey, wait a minute...isn't there another picture
somewhere else on this site of Marisa with Paul Farberman, lawyer/advisor
guru to the one and the same Celine? Wow..small world! |
 Hello and Greetings from Canada. I ordered and
received a copy of Abrahams Children's TIME cd.While I was pleased
with the musical content,I was disappointed with the environmentally
friendly package it came in.Is a jewel case version available
and if so,how do I specify this choice in my order and I will
give this bio-degradable copy to a friend who attended their
concert with me in Saint John,New Brunswick,Canada in 1974. All
the Best.Laurie |
 Live at Hollywood On
The Queensway
- Toronto, Canada. Abraham's
Children kicked off their Canadian dates at this famous rock
landmark. AC performed all their hits including material from
their latest cd 30. The new cd is filled with cuts that have
never been released, a couple of live songs and some radio interviews.
This disc also includes a 16 page booklet with lots of neat pictures
and stories. After the show the group met with dedicated fans
that waited with CD's, albums, books and pictures hoping to get
autographs and chat. Over the years The Children went through
some musical changes as well as members, but the essence of the
music still remains. The meet and greet saw fans of all ages.
The band plans on taking a couple of days off and then continue
on the road. Manager Marisa Lang explained that many dates are
being added and the possibilities of Europe are looking good. |
 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. Reporter Kant Gettalon Photo by Tony Morrone |
