When I was a kid, I found Night at the Beachcomber in my dad’s record collection and wore it out.

My dad told me that when he was in the Navy, he saw John Adomono in concert in Hawaii and bought the album there.

Sure wish I could find the music again somewhere, the album is long gone.

While stationed at the Submarine Base, Pearl Harbor, from 1959 to 1961, I went with my buddies many times to see John Adomono perform at Donn the Beachcomber’s at the entrance to the International Marketplace. He always packed the house. One night when we were there, in walked Henry J. Kaiser and his entourage and got a table near the stage. Adomono’s playing was always frenetic, and he went through several strings a night. On this particular night, he was replacing a string and muttered, “They ought to find something else to use to make these strings.” Then, as if inspired, he looked at Mr. Kaiser and said, “Aluminum, by golly!” I left Hawaii with one of his albums, the one on which he is pictured with a two-neck guitar. He never played that instrument that I know of. It was borrowed from a shop in the International Marketplace for the album photo shoot. Through the years, that album has disappeared.

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

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.
