One piece of good news

Worry had been widespread that the great Antoine "Fats" Domino was unaccounted for in the destruction of New Orleans. AP is now reporting that the 77-year old musician has been rescued and is now out of the city.



His manager Al Embry (who lives in Tennessee) confirms his rescue, and his daughter Karen Domino White (who lives in New Jersey) identified him from a photograph of a person being rescued but has not yet spoken with him.

A great cultural legacy is still being lost. Hear a discussion of it from Open Source.
