 Just bumming around on
you tube and searched for Abrahams Children and lo & behold
there they were. To me this was an awesome find, as I saw this
band numerous times in the early 70's. A freind of mine at the
time ( Ted Kalis ) booked bands into area hotels in the St. Catharines
area and these guy's played at the Queensway hotel in a bar called
the Purple Onion Room. Ted called me and said ,Gord I've just
booked this band you have to see. I was amazed how good these
guy's were and bought their album and played it forever until
in one move I lost it. I was eccstatic to find they have a CD
out that I can purchase as I always wondered what happened to
them, I had heard they had gone to California and that was that!!
Great news from a fan forever,met them back then and thought
they were a great bunch of guys. PS if you have contact with
the band ask them if they remember Ted and the Purple Onion Room

 I was on the net the other day with my son we were
looking at bands from the 70's, as a thought I asked him to see
if you had a website .There you were. As I read through the pages
the memories began to flow, so Iam writing to share a memory
with you . It was 1973 - 1974 I was a young teenager living on
manitoulin Island in Northern Ontario. It was our spring dance
at Manitoulin Secondary School in west bay .The band played that
night and were awesome. Come the end of the night as you were
all packing up to leave you had no idea how to get from west
bay to little current . as my friend and I were going to little
current anyway we offered to take you were you needed to go.
We hopped in your station wagon ( I think it was a station wagon)
and we road with you to little current. You guys droped us off
a! nd headed on your way. To this day I remember that night.
I how great you guys were to 2 country girls and how giddy we
were for weeks afterwords. I say you again once more (that same
year I think around New Years) at the Gasworks in toronto. That
was the last time. I am glad that I could shared this memory
with you . Thanks for the memory. carol finch |

 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 Joined The Fan Factory |

Hi JIMI B I am grateful to you for your kindness
and invited me to the show. I enjoyed music. I had a very good
time. I went to Grand Canyon after that. Next I went to Las Vegas
and returned to Los Angeles. My American traveling came to an
end. I think that America is very good place. Now I went back
to Japan and I am in my house. In Japan this sommer is very cool.

clip for their anniversary show but I don't know where they got
it and I have been unable to secure a copy. I still have many
people I run in to who remember the show and love to talk about
it. I have a lot of fond memories and I sure get choked up when
people remember the show and want to talk about it. Thanks again
for remembering and If you come up with something, I would sure
love to get some copies. Grant Hoffman - (host) Canadian Bandstand Joined The Fan Factory |

 Hi Guys
(AC) I know you won't remember, but I met you in Charlottetown,
PE in 1972. You played at the Confederation Centre. One of the
first radio interviews I did. I was 17 at the time . Alot older
now no wiser, still rocking & rollin on the radio. I'm having
a hard time finding the hits from the 1970's. I host the Saturday
Morning Retro Rewind on OCEAN100, live every weekend, featuring
the 70's at 7. I played all your hits when they were hits. If
its possible, I'm looking for a CD with all of the hits on it.
With your permission, I would like to add them to my 70's Canadian
gold rotation. Ron Gillespie Production Manager CHTN-Ocean100

job Jimi! I've been listening to it over and over again and it
is definitely a catchy theme. I really like the build up from
the intro... very upbeat, clean and fresh... works well with
the whole concept of the event... I think the guitar riffs add
an Italian sound/touch which I really, really like... horns sound
great too.

My parent's first new car was a 73 Buick station
wagon. I remember as a 13 year old camping in it the first night
we had it. With the AM dial on CFCY, Jimi was interviewed about
Abraham's Children playing in Abraham's Village here on PEI!
They played "Thank You" after the interview. That song
stuck to me like glue all these years! I found the song again
last week. Not having heard it for 35 years, I enjoyed the memory
trip back in that new 73 Buick Century! Best wishes from PEI!

who had a song called "Gypsy" (which peaked at # 119

is on vinyl & "Goodbye, Farewell" which is in mono

Hiya, Marisa :-) Just
thought I'd lethca know AC "Time" CD arrived today
. . .thanks a million!! I
couldn't be happier with the CD. You were right on the mark .

album to a "T". I'm happier to have a reissue of the
"original" with the artwork and stuff instead of simply
having the tunes on a Best Of. It's just like my LP copy of Time.
It will have an honoured and permanet place in my CanCon CD collection

Very impressive! You know, all

collection wasn't complete (or even my soul) without having the
