NEW ORLEANS (AP) - Workers have recovered what was left of three pianos from Fats Domino's New Orleans home. Domino's residence was submerged in almost ten feet of water when Hurricane Katrina caused a levee break near his neighborhood in August.
A recovery crew with the Louisiana State Museum pulled from the mold-covered interior of Domino's house a black Steinway baby grand used by the famed musician for writing and practicing. They also recovered a white Steinway grand and electric Wurlitzer keyboard. Museum officials are hoping the Domino family will donate the black Steinway baby grand for inclusion in a traveling exhibit about hurricanes Katrina and Rita.
