| FATS DOMINO |
POSTED June, 2009
Fats has not yet moved back into his buildings in the lower ninth ward.
According to a neighbor, who had a recent conversation with him, he
may decide to remain where he is on the west bank (across the
Mississippi River from New Orleans). Sadly, his wife passed on in 2008.
He celebrated his 83rd this past February.
