We are itching to get down to NOLA for our annual Jazzfest trip, so it is with great joy we get to wish one of the patron saints of that town a Happy Birthday.
Today back in 1928 Fats Domino was born down in the Lower Ninth Ward in New Orleans. Such a great artist, his songs are timeless, so enjoy a few this evening:
"I'm Walkin'"
"Walking To New Orleans"
"Jambalaya"
We will end with "Blueberry Hill"
I have a distinct memory of listening to this song very early on in my schooling (kindergarten I believe) which would make it one of the first songs I heard out side of my family's (Irish Folk, Beatles, Soul, Doo-Wop, Jazz and of course Sesame Street) music they played for me. Wow Not sure I had thought about in decades...ain't tunes amazing?!?! Anyways...Happy Birthday Fats.
