con il prodotto finale. Sono contento con la direzione che sta
prendendo. Spero di fare una collezione che rappresentara i mei
radici e in molti modi alcune tradizioni musicali della mia patria.
Il mio manager, Marisa, mi ha davvero incouraggiata di portare
avanti questo progetto. Quando ho iniziato questo CD sono stato
sopraffatto di emozione, riccordando la mia gioventù,
quando crescu alla Serra San Bruno e poi il sbarco a La merica.
E 'stato davvero "La merica dream".

 Toronto, Canada: - Is that Juli Bertucci and the famous
international movie star, that recently starred in the new James
Bond movie Quantum Of Solice Giancarlo Giannini (mouth full)...WOW.
The Italian Walk Of Fame Gala Awards was a star studded event.
Legendary singer Connie Francis was also honored along with hockey
great Phil Esposito and others. The event was co-founded by Juli's
dad and Marisa Lang."This was an awesome party...thanks
dad" said Juli. Juli has been busy working on a stage play
That Party Last Night , that opened at Crafton College in Yucaipa
California. The young B has been busy writing new songs for a
cd that she plans to start recording in the new year.We sure
look foward to that. Photo By George Onuska. |
 Brampton, Ont. - I
was somewhat out of the Burgess loop. His voice resonated Broadway
or stage with a mature and seasoned delivery. Serenading our
senses with familiar songs and melodies, the focused crowd appreciated
his rendition of You Raise Me Up, a song recently made popular
by Josh Groban. The organizers of the 100th anniversary of the
O.P.P. had brought in heavyweight Michael Burgess. Burgess is
an icon. How do I know that? Because I googled him. The more
I read about this talented man, the more I discovered that his
story has been adopted by many other artists who share a passion
for their craft that is grander than life itself. Michael has
done it all, theatre, film, TV and on occasion has even found
himself in an ice arena. Mr. Burgess continues to penetrate inquisitive
newbie ears, like my own. BU Photo by George Onuska |

 HAMILTON, CANADA The
Police Busted - Two members
of the band The Police were busted outside a concert hall in
Hamilton, Ontario. The lead singer bass player and keyboardist
for the group were caught behind the venue they were to perform
in. While on a routine inspection of an alley outside the concert
hall, two officers turned their headlights on what appeared to
be, two characters sitting and smoking a cigarette. Upon investigation
the officers asked the two men to show them identification. The
one man said we are performimng here and our id are in the dressing
room. When the officer asked what group it was, they said The
Police. Everyone snickered and joked. The officers continued
to ask what they were smoking noticing that both men had something
in their hands. One officer asked them to hold out their hands
open. The two were booked for possession of marijuana. They were
given a citation and were told that they would get a court appearance
date in the mail. The two officers proceeded to take the roaches
and place them in an evidence envelope. This is not the end of
this story. Read how Jimi and Laurie were picked up by four police
officers during an appearence at the Picadilly
Tube while The Police from England played half a mile away
in another club. They were cuffed and spent the night in a Toronto
jail. iUpdate |

 TORONTO,
CANADA - Ooh
aah ooh aah my my my you sure look fine Cathy Young. Yes the
infamous voice that helped make Gypsy number 1 on many stations
across North America took the time to have her pic snapped with
none other than long-time friend Jimi Bertucci.. The two were
taking in the annual Socan Members Meeting that was held at the
Sutton Place Hotel in downtown Toronto. Cathy can be heard on
many Jimi B songs as well as Abraham's Children. "Winning
Side" features Ms. Young and Beverly D'Angelo...yes
that Beverly. Last year during The Summer Of Love festival Cathy
was perfoming and asked Jimi to come on stage and share the mic.
They performed Can't Buy Me Love by the Beatles. reporter Kant

 DIMENSIONS
- JIMI BERTUCCI - this
is a wonderful collection of samples. You can order all these
great songs here at the On The Radio page or get them at iTune.
The wonderful thing about the internet is you have so many choices
on how to get your music .....we don't care how you get the music
just get it. Songs like Burning Love from Space Patrol is a rarity....I
Wasn't Searching, Passion and Innocence and what about New York
Lights wow... a dance beat from our pop Iguana. I can't say enough
about this cd it has an incredible collection of tunes. I remember
hearing "Winning Side" on CFTR a local radio station
in Toronto Canada. They were the first station to play this hot
track. Other stations refused to spin the record because Jimi
used the word queer openly. Boy have times changed. Another hotty
is "Call My Number" great sax solo and I hear this
was recorded at Cottingham Sound with Tom Atom engineering. Ok
order this cd so Jimi can take another safari. You can also hear
a few of these songs on the CONTACT page in it's entirety. Enjoy
and if you have any questions or comments please let us know.
Remember jimib.com is more than music.
