A number of news sources are reporting that rock pioneer Fats Domino returned to his New Orleans home last week to find it a terrible mess.
The Associated Press, for example, reported that his piano was "overturned among mud and debris," and his "electric keyboard sat against a wall cover in dried mud, mildew and mold..."
Fats is one of many New Orleans musicians suffering from Hurricane Katrina, which is why the Narrows Center for the Arts is supporting the "New Orleans Hurricane Relief Fund." When you go to our shows, we have a big bottle in which you can put money, or you can click right here.
Although we hope Fats has the resources not to have to tap into this fund, most musicians haven't had the professional success he had--and their income may be derived from club dates at clubs that no longer exist.
