PALM SPRINGS
CA -
I've had the pleasure of working with John since the seventies.
We have become great friends over the years and as faith would
have it, we now live very close to each other. I have learned
to more than appreciate his work. I 've come to understand it.His
photographic art is spontaneous and accurate. He has the ability
to capture the second that counts. The detail, lighting, positioning
the emotion of the composition. His work makes the artist or
subject the center of attention. His years of clicking the good,
the bad and sometimes the ugly, has earned him a cornerstone
of recognition in the world of photography. These days he continues
to apply his talents producing videos and designing websites
as well as clicking. (next to deoborah) |
 All THAT JAZZ BASS - When I first started playing bass I
thought it was so kool to have a Hofner Beatle Bass. I was the
talk of the neighborhood. I had people asking me to play in their
band without even knowing if I could play. As the years went
on I began to add to my collection of bass guitars, of course
I could do this now because I was a working musician. My next
bass was a Rickenbacker, I guess I was following in the steps
of Paul McCartney. Then came a Gibson. But soon I became bored
with the commercial basses that I was so accustomed to. I remember
one day I was listening to David Clayton Thomas 's band rehearse
above the Concord Tavern on Bloor Street when I noticed that
the bass player was using a real old tattered bass. I went closer
and saw it was a Fender Jazz Bass....he asked if I would like
to play it I quickly said yes..it was awesome. David walked in
the room and asked what the fuck I was doing there..I said with
a nervous sound that I was just checking out the bass. He asked
me to leave, of course in a DCT way. I remained friends with
Scott the bass player and many years later had another encounter
with David. That's another story.
Oh yeah I bought a Jazz Bass which I still have to this day. |
 Through The Eyes Of Vincenzo - Words and Music by Jimi Bertucci - I don't suppose
the title gave it away. My youth was unique, in many ways it
was an actor's dream. I was able to manipulate the hand-me-down
system and, at times, my parents. Being thrown into a culture
where it was the norm to be bullied by territorial mangia cakes,
my reactions to certain comments or gestures had to be quick.
At first a smile was sufficient to diffuse the situation, but
that eventually wore thin with the leaders of recess control.
Sooner or later I knew my swords would have to be drawn and my
stand made clear. That day had come. It was lunchtime, my favorite
period in what was usually a long tedious school day. I was sitting
on the steps with a couple of new friends when suddenly my capicollo
and pepper sandwich on a panino went flying into the air, landing
on the dirty grounds of the schoolyard. As I stood up to confront
my assailant, he attempted to throw a punch my way, I ducked
and landed a right on his nose making it bleed profusely. His
English profanity was difficult to make out as he cupped his
nose trying to get the bleeding to stop. At that moment the huge
wooden doors flung open. "Both of you in my office!",
boomed the commanding voice. It was an awkward moment for me
as I tried to explain to the principal that this rude, freckled-faced,
red-haired boy deliberately knocked my sandwich out of my hands.
There were many great times as well. I found that my most impressionable
years were in elementary school. By the time I went to junior
high discovering new things became more like serious work, thus
my musical wants began to kick in more and more. I started to
understand the new ways of my social surroundings and took in
what the scene had to offer. My ideals, some of which have remained
with me, developed through my observations. Life is a continous
journey revealing, at times, the hidden mysteries locked deep
within our souls, only to discover we hold the key. |

This is an exercise
into the human mind where anonymity fades into the darkness of
pixilated realism. They feel and see your bone structure like
an embossed layer of coagulated emotions. The extreme aversion
turns into a haunting lust of tension grasping the conditioned
heart to explode into a sea of orgasm. ..(order the book) |
