Subject: Re: Fats Domino Missing In New Orleans
They're showing a photo on the news this morning of a man identified
as Fats being rescued on Monday.
"AP quoted his daughter, Karen Domino White, who lives in New Jersey
and identified her father from a newspaper photograph showing a man
being helped out of a boat by authorities."

So, it's to be hoped he's healthy and somewhere safe by now.
I can't help thinking about this record store in N.O. not far from
one of those bridges over the river. A medium grocery sized store
with table after table of reccord racks. Spent the best part of an
afternoon skimming the surface, picking up a single of Smiley Lewis'
"I Hear You Knockin'" and a few other treasures my budget would allow.
And now it's gone. On the other hand, that was probably twenty years
ago, so maybe Thousands of vintage 45's and LP's under feet of
contaminated water is the least of what's going on down there, but
still...
Good wishes and a Red Cross donation to NO, LA, MS, AL, etc.
