FUMOSONIC

John I am a trumpet player in the Philadelphia area. I was Sol Gubins cousin. Did you ever work together? Ron

great things happen every day one day at a time makes it so the older i get every moment is a new moment i know im here now what do i do with myself here i let myself go and learn mostly what im not going to do but then i find myself doing what i have learned so am i here one day at a time?

i am alive everyone in this sky seems to leave me alone i think i was abird but im a young bird shall i i feed the old or shall i help them eat there food as i fly in the universe sky my time is endless to feed would be good for all now maybe i'm thought for food to all that dont need unlike this type of nourishment its bad let me feed you you cry in a good sharing way that we may learn to teach wht we should eat

i paid him to say that

Hi John, I'm a close friend of Mark Welcome. I just listened to Dehra Dun. Great vibe, Man. I used to play drums with Mark at the beginning. Still close. He says wonderful things about you. Thanks for the music. Keep it coming.

i am dead no one in these waters seems to need me I think i was a fish but i am an old fish shall i be food for the young or shall i be eaten for food as i swim in my minds ways my days are short to be eaten will be good for me now maybe i am food for thought to them that need this type of nourishment is good eat me up I say in a good sharing way that you may learn to teach what not to eat

I just want to Thank You for the many, many times in my heart that I have felt troubled and lost and thought of you ,...just the thought of this wonderful great man who inspired me to do things in my life, i probally wouldn't have done,..if i didnt allways have you in my heart. For that I am truly blessed for having met you and learned from you. John you inspired me deeply.

John! Holy Crap! I heard you were doing well, and it looks like it. I'm still playing trombone out here in Madison, Wisconsin, and got on Facebook not that long ago. I thought I'd do a search on you and BINGO! Did Claude C ever ask you that question I asked him to ask you (about the mumps?) a few years ago-more like several years ago? Send me an email when you get a chance, 'k? Lots to catch up on if you'd like to. Peace!

Hi there! Best Wishes

Nice site! Good Luck!

Hi John, This is an fascinating site and it is great to see a neighborhood friend do so well. I remember hearing you practice and the music reverberating across the street through (summer time) open windows. It was a delicious treat then and it remains so! Best to you and your continued success. Jan (Busche) Doetsch

my thoght just was that,.. at the end of a gig, people say thank you. Why not say .... THANK US!!!!.....?

perfect.....love. thank us,...aren't we great!

I was dreamscaping,......of a good planet.......I see it as we have control.! The math works...... we should become simple, and act upon what good is said. we've lost the importance of giving and all things breathe the same air so why do we not see the balance that all things allways are here And so are we, Hi ....How are you? Love everyone please!!!,,,,Marco

Very Good Site

Oh, by the way. When and where Is the BBQ? Nick said it'll be 2 weeks from now. Is that so? Please let me know.

loved you @ the festival. and who said american music was dead. listen to Fumosonic and you'll find that's an overstatement. Love it.

Great Music! Ran across your site from an old Tremper HS site I stumbled on.

We've seen colectively multiple entries of our jobs define us. yet, we forget who we are' in a single quest we jest to you around us. of our right of who we are. why cant we not forget. I love you, You love me, she loves her, her loves him, him loves them, they love those, those love they, who they love too, then there's us Yes --- we should love together. each other as children. and protect each other as family of the earth. our mother and father.

KfyDJ3 h1! nice site! oxyutelno

What the hec am I missing here? Playing at the Grammy's? I am as you can tell by my email address a true Fumo as well, and no Janie is not my real name because when my parents came to Canada no one could pronounce my italian name and thats what I got stuck with. Ok all you other Fumos out there, are any of us related?? I am in Vancouver BC.

It was great to see you playin' at the Grammy Awards. Seeing you play took me back to the 4 or 5 year run that we had playing together with the "Bad Boys" of Tierra. Anyway, it was good seeing you and please send my love to Kelly and the rest of the Fumo familia.

Who are all these Fumos that I do not know?

Hello! All would like to congratulate on coming Christmas! Love your music!

you got a myspace address?

My english is poor, sorry, but I want to contact you cause my name, my history, my past and my love for the music basicly, thanks

I hope my love has wings, And that it may fly into your hearts, soft and with comfort, as would an embrace, but listen in the quietness, for one message that is hard to hear, a voice soft spoken, and yet so clear, its you i call to break my fear, and trust my dream, that all can be well, without this ongoing living hell,that something great in us may come, the revalation that one is one! .....................than everything is love!........and love is all we need. Thankyou SoMuch For Love

Fumo i miss ya baby Sal

Hey John, I saw you on Idol tonight and was about to call my sister (Debbie) when the phone rang and she said, "I just saw John Fumo on American Idol!" Your hair's a little shorter, but otherwise no change since Tremper marching band. Do you know if anyone ever filmed our field drills? I'd love to see some of those contests again. You were and are so talented. Good luck with your latest endeavor.

hi fumo! i´m fumo, too. And i also was playn trumpet (not like you, maestro). fumosonic sounds really nice project. come to see my project on www.iltufo.it. hope to meet you and your family one day!

good site. it was very interesting. love your music!!

hey jack and kelly/kids how much LOVE does it take to make this world a better place? If there is a GOD, i wish that he/or she could give us ALL a HIT of something,.. that would make us all have the same VISION,...at the same TIME,.....just 5 minutes of some sobering reality that the WORLD could experience ALL at once. ONE MOMENT. in where as the only answer would be PEACE. that all people need to step up and take the final leap, to grow up, move on, with no old habits, into the NEW WORLD,...... love mark

Enjoyed the site! Great pics of the budding musicians, Cosmo and Bix.

I'm Louis Fumo's (Kenosha) #2 (50 @ 12/02) Daughter. I went to St. Joe's with Gena Marrano your cousin from the other side. We never met but my dad had Fumo picnics(1980s) and your sister attended with mom. I heard you were a great trumpetter..doesn't run on my side... have 2 sisters: Julie (43) and Kathy (52) all on the blonde side. It would be nice to hear from you - your dad and my dad = cousins.

Hey John, Hope all is well... I'm still trying to do my best for the jazz scene back here in ktown - the culture seems to finally be growing here. I'll propagate your site as appropriate. ELMO

Hey John, Groovy site, man. I just got home, got back to my computer, and recieved your email. The last part of the tour was a grind. It was affectionately called "The Retrabution Tour." It was a gas meeting you and blasting on the "coil of torture" together. The new mouthpiece is starting to sink in and the upper register is beginning to feel better than the old one. By the way, great music your wife and you are doing. Sounds really nice!! You know Tim Kobza is from my hometown, Omaha. In fact we just did a jam session with the Cosintino Brothers (also from Omaha, living in LA) in Omaha a couple of weeks before you and I played for Wayne. Small world!!! Anyway stay in touch, stay cool, and as Jake would say, "Keep it straight ahead, and strive for tone!"

Wow. Cosmo is grown and I am still a child. Nice to see you, Fumo. Hope all is well. Dennis

Blast from the past. Came accross your website and thought I'd drop a line. If you're ever in Pittsburgh or near by, lets get togeher and catch up. Looks like you're doing well. Still in the Pittsburgh Symphony. Plenty of horn but piano is long gone. Take care. Bill

I was talking to Mac the other day and your name came up. Its always good to read about home town friends doing well.

John, Whazzz Up??? Man, Coso has grown a bit hasn't he! You sound good and I'm happy things seem to be going well for you and your wife... Be cool! Tony Gambaro

Hi John. What is a cosmophone?

on a more serious note Big J....totally dig your new site...can't wait to check out your new tracks.....we go back a long way...and you have always served as inspiration for my own playing....will send you my new release in early 2007....I think it's meet with your approval.....stay close and say HI to Kelly for me....kudos guyz!!! -Dave@davecnorman.com

YEAH BABY!!!! How are the tracks coming along?? Can't Wait to hear them!! E

Nice new site Jack. You guys are the best. Gabe

Howdy John! It's so odd, I was just listening to an old album you played on the other night, "Wayne Peet's Doppler Funk - BLASTO!" GOOD GAWD Y'ALL! I LOVED your playing on there both ensemble and solo (especially the ones you did on "En Baille De Jesus" and "Religion") Anyhooooo, it's so great to see you constantly eperimenting and creating in anumber of different ways. FUMOSINIC is very unique stuff! The mark of atrue artist is not merely being a great instrumentalist but a complete musician, an John, you definitely epitomize that! Keep up the great work, whether you're creating those ethereal soundscapes with Kelly, exploring the outer edges of jazz or anything else. This is one musician who really appreciates your artistry and uniqueness.

Just stopped by to say hello to My family..Hello Loved Ones...BW

Hey, John! It's been about 20 years since those salsa band nights with Carlos B. Seen you on various recodings like B Setzer orch. and you still sound great. I'm now in Florida, after 20 years in New England. Send me a note & stay in touch, man! Kevin

Hi John. I'm sure you don't remember me, but I was in band with you at Tremper. I was 2nd chair clarinet. I was best friends with Donna Sorensen. Do you remember her? I still remember you playing Mac Arthur Park in the Lance Variety Show. It blew me away. I also remember Black Watch when we were on the field and you came out of the middle of everyone and blew this really high note! You were extremely talented and I see now you are doing what you were fabulous at back in junior and high school. I remember your group of guys that all loved Pink Floyd. (I did too!) I remember Claude Cailliet and Danny Fornero walking down the band hallway at Tremper saying, "Dyno". That was the big phrase then. I also remember going to a party at your house once. You had a black light in your room. Oh the memories. I have occasionally looked on the Tremper website and read about people. I saw you on there and saw your link to this site, so I decided to visit it. I also remember seeing in the stores a Neil Young ***(Love him!-I actually met David Crosby and Stephen Stills)*** and Crazy Horse CD that you and Claude played on. Wow. I wish you continued success in your career and the best to both you and your wife. I just couldn't resist writing.

You two are truly amazing. Kelly's voice is SWEET, and the music...unlike ANYTHING I've ever heard: oringinal, intelligent, polished. Very Iimpressive!

Man you're the only guy I know that can play double high c's besides Jon Faddis! Danny Fratina
