Adomono: Gypsy
Posted on August 26, 2007 by hcrink
Jerry Stiller look-a-like flamenco guitar dude record that is actually pretty far out. To look at the titles on this set of all covers does not exactly fill you with enthusiasm, but they are so completely drenched with echo that even the most banal 60's pop cover is transcended into enjoyable weirdness. And according to the liner notes Adomono was "John F. Kennedy's favorite music"… I swear I'm not making this up.

Crazy stuff–it’s like a cross between “Flight of the Bumblebee” and “Popcorn.”
I am pleased you like my father’s music.
He recorded three albums in his lifetime,(& was working on his forth before he passed away).
All it was was Him, the guitar on the cover, an amp, & an echoplex.
I remember him coming home every night during the making of this album, very tired, but pleased how it was turning out.
The J.F.K. statement, btw, is true.
My father campaigned for him, & Mr. Kennedy promised my dad that if he won, he would invite my father to peform at The White House.
He also performed at The California Governor’s Mansion, during Ronald Reagan’s term.
My father passed away in 1990, but not a day goes by where i don’t think about him.
Again, thanks for enjoying his music.
also…I don’t think he looks like Jerry Stiller.
People always said he looked like Clark Gable.
i am pleased to say john adomono is my grandfather, and nick adomono is my uncle,and i have 3 boys that play gutar like grandad,he was the best,i took my son joey to gutar school when he was 7 and the teacher sed he was amazeing, so his talint still lives on! he was one classey man!
Well, I’m the First son of Johnny Adomono….
And like most in his family..i never knew my dad.
I’m just glad Nick got to see him..probally more than any of his kids…Give or take. Fatima too,
I’m proud to be his son…but Johnny Adomono, was always chaseing his Dream…and left his children behind….Never knowing what they would become….I just wished he would have came around to see what i’ve acomplished ,of me being in the entertaiment world…and i know others that were Children & Grand children wished the same!
Johnny never knew or stayed around to see them grow up & see what they would become…that was his loss…And He was ours!
So, for us, who are related, who never got to see him much …Thank God…there are some who saw who he was & what he did…even though, some of what he did wasn’t good!
But, what he did, artisicly…in music, was simply amazing!!!
Love all my family!
Write me sometime…jkaeagle1@aol.com
