That's great. I know it sound like celeberty mania, but I still got to thank him for "Blueberry Hill".

When asked what his future plans were I understand Fats Domino replied, "I'm going to Kansas City, Kansas City here I come. They got a crazy way of loving there And I'm gonna get me some."

LOL!!

Seriously, this is such good news. Imagine the escalation of the government-bashing if Fats had been found dead. He would have been the symbol of this disaster.

he'd better be careful on the streets.

With the way I hear things going some crazy folks might want to EAT some Fat Dominoes (pizza).

/Joke :-)

Oh, I'm happy to hear this! I'd heard he was missing earlier today.

I know he's just one of so many...but still, it's good news.

Honestly, I thought he died years ago.

Glad to see he's made it through!

With so much bad news it's a good thing to be able to cheer for something. Let's hope there are more "bright spots".
