This Day In History

Here's where we go to kick back after the races with our pals. Pour a tall one, punch a few buttons on the jukebox, and relax...

It was Fats Domino playing the intro to "Blueberry Hill" on the scratchy AM radio in me and my sister's babysitter's boyfriend's car at the beachfront roller skating rink on a Sunday evening in 1957 that struck me like a thunderbolt, blew my mind, and changed me forever. I was 8 years old, between my 2nd and 3rd years of a 10-year classical piano and music theory training marathon at the Dominican Nun convent's music conservatory in Galveston. Up to that point, I wanted to be like Liberace. After hearing that song, I wanted for the rest of my life to be like Fats Domino. I'm still trying. The band I play in does that song. Life is good.

Hail, Hail, Rock n' Roll! Long live Antoine "Fats" Domino, the coolest cat to ever slick his hair back, put on a zoot suit, and rock out on a piano. In my world, nothing has ever topped that song ("Twilight Time" by the Platters runs a close second). It's beautiful stuff. Thanks for the info, Gate! Happy Birthday, Fats! Cheers, WC1
Life Is Good!
