I expect to be on my feet a lot in New Orleans next weekend during my annual early-Carnival weekend visit. Trekking through the French Quarter and the Marigny; strolling by the mighty Mississippi; scampering alongside parades; dancing in clubs and all-night parties; and doing a joyful second-line strut wherever I happen to be standing at any given moment. But, with all due respect to the immortal Fats Domino and his classic hit “Walking to New Orleans,” I’ll get there by a... MORE

Well, good morning world. So to start my Sunday Mornings Under the Covers, I give you my favorite version of this oft-covered song. Fats Domino gives this song such a nice, gently funky groove, I find it irresistable.
I believe though that Christmas Music in general should be restricted to Christmas Week.

You just have to love Fats. I first heard a cover of this tune by Dave Edmunds and, after hearing another oldie by Fats on the radio, finally broke down and got to buy and hear the original. For all of you heading off to, at, or returning from work this Monday...

Posted by Keith Spera November 09, 2007 6:52AM Music writer Keith Spera was in New York City with Fats Domino last week. This is his fourth report from the road.Fats Domino is Santa Claus: Short, stout, generally jovial. And just by being in the room, he makes people happy.
At 8:15 p.m. Thursday, he arrives at a cavernous dance club adjacent to the tony Pink Elephant in a tough swath of lower Manhattan's Chelsea neighborhood. The distant Empire State Building is lit up in... MORE
A song I remember my dad singing a lot, has such an upbeat sound to it. I love it.

The late Johnny Cash is the only other musician to be honored with the award recognizing a musician's imprint on American music as undeniable and invaluable.

Today's Black History Month artist is the great Fats Domino. This song seemed appropo considering Mondays are usually blue for me. Monday is the day I have to begin a week of getting up at 6 a.m. (and I'm no morning person) and going to a mindless job with a boss I'm none too fond of, plus I've been treated to below zero weather for most of last week and it looks like it will be hanging around for most of this week. Did I also mention I'm no fan of cold? The one good thing... MORE

Saw what was the birthplace of jazz in Spike Lee's 4-hour "When the Levees Broke: A Requiem in Four Acts" on HBO last night. It was educational, raw, soul-searching and compassion-inducing.
