 CHELSEA LONDON Alan Caddy - It was in the early part of 1972 that
I first met Alan. I recall he was a slender man, that stood about
6' tall, with a very heavy British accent. He was introduced
to us by Gary Salter, then president of Avenue Of America record
label. Upon my initial encounter with Alan we hit it off and
I could see that I would like this man. Gary had mentioned that
he would probably be producing our album which we were ready
to start. This would be the follow-up to our first commercial
hit single, "Goodbye Farewell". Before I get into the
session, let me give you a bit of history on Mr. Caddy. He was
born in Chelsea, London, was classically trained, and served
as a soprano in Westminster Abbey. He studied violin and was
the leader of the orchestra at his school in Battersea. Alan
joined a skiffle group called the Five Nutters as a guitarist.
In 1958 he would join Johnny Kid and The Pirates and was regarded
as real rock n roller musician. He made his first TV debut with
that band on ITV's Disc Break in 1959 with their song "Please
Don't Touch", a moderate hit that established the group.
In 1960 the Pirates would come out with "Shakin All Over"
that would comfirm them as a staple pop band of the time. The
song would knock Cliff Richard from the top of the charts. After
about a year the band would begin to fade and soon decided to
pack it in. Alan would go on to form The Tornados. The band's
hit "Telstar" would stay on the British charts for
over 25 weeks with 5 of those at number one. It was released
in the US and Canada on the London label and would be the first
British record to reach number one on the Billboard Charts. The
Tornados would continue to release records but none of them could
achieve the success of "Telstar". By 1964 the group
was going through changes and Alan was well-placed to make a
living as a session musician, and even become a star in his own
right. In the early 70s he moved to Canada and started producing
cover albums for Avenue of  America. Ok... back to AC. We began recording
the TIME album and the idea of having a British producer was
exciting and at times elevating from the standards that Canadian
bands were used to. His arrangements were magical. I would spend
many hours even after the sessions just watching and listening
too him work. Over the next couple of months we became really
good friends and shared many private moments together. When the
album was completed he came up to me and said, "I really
enjoyed working with you and I believe you are going to be a
star". I was wowed and thanked him for a incredible experience.
We would go on to begin a second album that would never see vinyl
heaven, but my memories of Alan are as vivid as if it were yesterday.
I was very sad when I heard of his passing in 2000. He will be
missed but can always be heard on "Gypsy", "Thank
You" and the rest of TIME. |

GUARDIANS OF HOPE DOES HELP. Hollywood,
CA - As I sit in the comfort of my spacious home nestled in the
foothills, typing on my top of the line Toshiba laptop computer,
I am reminded of the short film I just previewed. The crowd enjoyed
the designer bottled water and the abundance of well-catered
food provided by The Filmmaker Series 2007, founded by Scion.
This project was created to support the emerging indie filmmakers
with a modest budget to produce original short films on topics
of their choice. "Guardians of Hope", written and directed
by Reza Moosavi who also composed the music, was a rude awakening
to the reality of the most-populated city of homeless people
in the US. In some ways I was relieved that this was a short
film. A full length feature on this emotional topic would have
surely brought tears to my eyes. In the film, Mr. Moosavi interviews
Los Angeles social workers that dedicate themselves to making
a difference. The photographs and footage captured are disturbing
as we watch an unwanted culture suffocate for survival. I was
moved to say the least and came to the realization that perhaps
we can all contribute a little more to stimulate and support
the lost souls who bed themselves on the cold concrete of our
unhumanitarian streets. Mr. Moosavi should be congratulated and
praised for his bravery in confronting this battleground of misfortune…

 Abraham's
Children perform at Nathan Phillips Square in Toronto, Canada.
They would attract the biggest crowd ever. An estimated 50 thousands
fans would show their appreciation. The stage was rushed with
hundreds of teens before the security personal could get them
off the stage. "The band signed almost 3000 autographs as
fans lined up for hours" said manager Jack Morrow. This
was the kick off to their highly acclaimed Lock Up Your Daughters
Tour. They would perform in 55 cities across Canada and the US.
It was non-stop. The band complained that they saw so many airports,
that at times, they would forget what city they were in. To catch
an AC live show was an unforgettable musical event (read more

 Huntington
Beach, CA - His ride
was a metallic purple Olds with red velvet interior. It roared
as it approached the recording studio and would often be pulled
over by local authorities. When the decision for Jimi to perform
again came up in the 90's he enlisted the Big Man as he was called.
Kelvin Womack was a musician and an entertainer. " I felt
good when Kelvin was next to me. He had a soulful voice and we
blended well together". said Jimi. After a long battle with
Diabetes the Big Man was gone. There was feeling of emptiness
in the band. He added that special color to the sound of the
music. Kelvin will be missed and never forgotten. |

 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.those famous pictures. |

 Buddah Records: Was the ultimate bubblegum label . It was the
home to 1910 Fruit Gum Company, Neil Sedaka , Paul Anka Abraham's
Children, Ohio Express , Shadows of Knight, David Cassidy, and
an endless list of others. The founding member of Buddah was
a visionary man named Neil Bogart. Abraham's Children first met
Neil, when he was invited to attend a showcase of the band, in
Toronto, Canada. GAS Records , the Children's Canadian label
, had set up this elaborate concert showcase in the premier hotel,
Inn On The Park , Neil was flown in with around 15 other major
US labels. The Children were on tour at the time and flew in
especially for this gig. Upon their arrival they were greeted
by the Toronto Symphony Orchestra which performed two songs with
the Children . Although the Children had been smooshed and entertained
by many of the record companies represented, The Children and
it's management team decide to sign with Buddah Records and Neil
Bogart . The first single was "Goodbye Farewell" a
pop song penned by Jimi B. This would be the introduction of
the band to the USA. They would eventually release two more singles
"Thank You" which was played on American Bandstand's
rate a record and Won!! and "Gypsy" would hit # 75
on the Cashbox chart and top 100 in Billboard. Today Buddha Records
is back spelled differently and providing some of the catalog
that they were once so famous for. |
