 THE BLOG -
A riveting look at life in
the blog, where verbal wars defend opinions, beliefs, philosophies
and down right dirt. The offerings?…politics, sex, celebrities,
religion and more. Dare to enter the forum of demon literary
egos as they splash into cyber monologs and anticipate the kill
of words. Mr. Bertucci's wit is razor-sharp and he wastes no
time in biting the innocent lurker.
Blogger: God forbid you should feel awkward because of someone
getting married to someone of the same gender.
Blogger: There was a time in the USA when many
white people felt awkward about sitting next to blacks on buses,
drinking from the same fountains and using the same bathrooms.
Blogger: and then it will be me and u. i am serious
i am so attracted to you i can tell u are a hottie (back) |

Jimi B Jimi B - BNO-9069 When
Jimi started the production of this album he made sure he had
some of the best players on the session. He recruited Prakash
John on bass who is well known for that famous bass line on Take
A Walk On The Wild Side with Lou Reed. He recorded for many great
artists and spent many years as the bass player for Alice Cooper.
Today Prakash has his own band called The Lincolns. Mike Sloski
is perhaps the hottest studio and live drummers working today.
He worked with BB Gabor for many years. Rob Guseve on keyboards
just listen to Wickless Dynamite and we need say no more. Peter
Follett on guitar check out All American Boy for a classic rock
n roll lead. Other guests include Jody Colero on keys, Kevin
Bell guitar, Paul Massey on that great trumpet line, Cathy Young
backing vocals. Engineered by Steve Vaughan, asst. engineer Paul
Massey. Recorded at Masters Workshop, Toronto Canada.(back)

Jimi B - Through The Eyes Of Vincenzo

on keys and backing vocals, Jimi on vocals, acoustic guitar,
bass and piano. With some additional players. Bob Feldman on

and SRO Studios, Fontana, California (back)

Jimi B - Best Of Jimi B - BNO-1020 This
is a fun cd full of experiments and songs that have never been
released. When we spoke to Jimi he said this was a great project
to let his hair down. Some funny interviews and comments about
the songs. " There are some cuts that were live in the studio,
when I say live I mean no overdubs just basic bed tracks."
Some of the songs were recorded at Cottingham Studios a funky
place. The engineer was Tom Atom an awesome set of ears. There
are a few familiar cuts on this cd and the fans should find it
entertaining. Call My Number nice sax solo, It's Good It's Funky
But It's White this song is the B side and instrumental. When
Angel recorded the song they had lyrics on the A side. Winning
Side is a great song you can still hear the scratches that were
left on purpose to retain it's original format.... This cd features
some greatn players Recorded in few studios in Toronto and New
York. I I like stuff thyat hasn't been over saturated by self
indulgent over enthused musicians. Jimi said it definitely is
not the best of. Well a little best of. Awesome cd for the connoisseur
of fine music. (back)

Abraham's
Children - Time - BNO
3001 This is the only album that AC would release. This classic
piece of Canadiana musical art is still as fresh today as it
was when it was originally released. It is the ultimate bubble
gum trophy. The album put out three hits "Goodbye Farewell"
"Gypsy" and "Thank You" all these songs charted
well and a couple of them went to number one in many major markets.
BNO has remastered this with the help of Garwood Wallace in Toronto,
Canada. The sound is awesome. This remains to be a big seller
and anyone that ever had the album should definitely get this
classic cd. Big strings tight harmonies and some incredible playing.
Although the band was considered a commercial success, songs
like "Workin For The Man" "Woman O Woman"
are as heavy as heavy can be, do not underestimate the power
of pop. Kant Gettalon iUpdate (back)

Jimi Bertucci - Canta Canta - BNO-EP022960 In
2005 Jimi was given the Certosa Award by the Italian community
for his contribution to the arts. This lavish black tie affair
drew some of the most influential people. Politicians, judges,
family, friends and fans. (Read more about the event). This cd
was put together especially for this gala and it includes "
Bye Bye Bambina Occhi Blue " a song that went to number
1 in many ethnic stations around the world. The cd also includes
a new song written bilingually in Italian and English called
" Sempre " and one of my favorites " Some Things
Last Forever " a great pop ballad ala Jimi B. Kant Gettalon

Best Of Abraham's
Children - BNO 2001
Every band has to put out a best of cd. I never understood that.
Considering they always have more best material. So here is the
best of AC. This is basically the Time album with a couple of
added songs. Although the nice additions of " Christina
" " Back Home Again " " I Do " "
Strange Feeling " and " Rockin In The City " are
well worth this cd. Getting cuts that were never available is
a big thrill. I have to tip my hat off to BNO they have a lot
of balls releasing all this Jimi B and AC stuff. Great listen.
Suggestion get it. Kant Gettalone iUpdate (back)

Abraham's Children
- The Set List BNO
- 62306 The newest release by Abraham's Children, this one is
HOT!!! This cd is a collection of all the songs the band has
been performing to rave reviews in their most recent 2006 RED
& BLACK tour. Carefully chosen to reflect the band's journey
from Bubblegum pop to Classic Rock, the list of songs includes
their all-time favorite hits Gypsy, Thank You, Goodbye Farewell,
Goddess Of Nature, as well as the band's newer pop/rock material.
With a whopping total of 17 songs in all and a special bonus
track of the romantic ballad, Sempre, this one is a steal. AC
kicks out some high energy with songs like I Do, Maybe Tomorrow
and Burning Love. Other tracks like "Passion & Innocence"
reflect a slice of the times and life of AC lead singer and talented
songwriter Jimi Bertucci. (Some sharp musicianship can be heard
from band members, Jimi Bertucci on bass, Doug Platt on guitar,
Mike Van Steinburg on drums, and Will Hare on keyboards.) Kant

Abraham's Children 30 - BNO 010905 This album has
it all including the kitchen sink. 30 songs some are classic
some are lost treasures that any collector would give up their
sister to own. There are songs in here I have never heard of
and of course hit after hit. I enjoyed the interview clips and
some of the comments made by, I presume Jimi or one of the band
members. Listen to " Would Mother Approve " a haunting
piece that tells the story of a fan that gets infatuated with
a rock group only to learn her mother does not approve. "
Dreams To Sea " a progressive cut that would make YES spin...
all in all this is worth having if you like to explore the depths
of AC. I can appreciate the ecletic collection of songs. This
is the cd to have. There are a couple of duds on this but overall
it stands the sands of time. Produced by BNOrecordingUSA. Kant

TRYPP - 7 Deadly Singles. This is the latest from the the
Uxbridge nouveau cast of rockophilia. The musicians are seasoned
and have had their fifteen minutes of grandeur, somewhere in
the terrain of rock.. The songs are well crafted . Brian's vocals
seem a bit buried at times and it makes it hard to make out what
he is saying. Some fine guitar licks by one Eldon Wilderman,
I love to have the drums in my face...so guys on the next one
BRING THEM UP.... Although we have touches of a couple musical
eras, 7 Deadly Singles makes nice easy listening and at this
point in my life I want everything to be easy. The fav tunes
for moi ears were "Unpopular Opinion" and "Legends
& Mysteries" has a nice little hook. Ok order this cd
and you tell me what you think. Reporter Seton Raspa for iUpdate

Canada - Mixed by John Forbes at Dale Road Studio - Port Hope,

Surfin The Beat - Shawn
O'Shea -So I sit down to check my email and decide to slip Serfin
The Beat by my old friend and ex Abies Babies guitarist Shawn
O'Shea in my drive.. His first solo cd since who knows when.
Mr. O'Shea's songs are structured like Legos, each block fits
nicely into the next. His voice on the tracks could resemble
a younger what's his name? Though "Serfin" displays
a certain mature I have been around the block a few times je
ne sais qua, its originality is sometimes lost in the shuffle
of the shuffle. The background girls known as Katy Squad are
tight and slick. Lou Reed would be so proud of them. Drummer
and engineer, Gerry Fielding, displays a requiem of sound and
consistency with each song complimenting the groove. These guys
are no strangers to recording great stuff, whether it's at the
Record Plant or Gerry's Garage. I like it, it's direct, raw and
it rocks. Ingrid Lusha......read more about. Shawn (back)

 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
