Fats Domino returns to New Orleans stage
NEW ORLEANS - Fats Domino took the stage before a sold-out crowd of hundreds in a New Orleans nightclub Saturday, marking the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer's first public performance since Hurricane Katrina.
Dressed in a snappy white jacket, the 79-year-old New Orleans icon was crisp and energetic as he sang and played the piano. The crowd jumped and screamed when he belted out "Blueberry Hill." Domino was accompanied by his longtime friend and musical partner saxophonist Herbert Hardesty. The pair have been playing together since the mid-1940s.
Fans who for years longed to see Domino perform such hits as "Blueberry Hill," ... continue reading

Diddley improves after suffering stroke
OMAHA, Neb. - Four days after suffering a stroke, Bo Diddley walked around the intensive-care unit at Creighton University Medical Center, and doctors were encouraged that the singer-songwriter-guitarist would be able to perform again, his manager said.
The 78-year-old Diddley told his audience that he wasn't feeling well during a show in Council Bluffs, Iowa, on Saturday night. Diddley's manager, Margo Lewis, said she had the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer taken to the hospital by ambulance when he appeared disoriented at the Omaha airport on Sunday.
Though Diddley's speech is impaired, he's made significant progress.

Seatsniffers On TV
Hey All,
There's been a lot of action at Seatsniffers headquarters lately, most
of it good, some of it horrible. As most of you probably heard, our
trusty old Ford Van got stolen, with Pete's beatiful late '60's Silver
Sparkle Gretsch drum kit, my guitar amp and pedal board, and Roel and
Bob's amps, and a giant trunk full of Seatsniffers T-shirts inside,
and there's no news whatsoever about the whereabouts of our stuff.
Not only is this a serious financial setback for us, but some of the
stuff that's been stolen is going to be pretty hard to replace. I
guess there IS a downside to playing vintage instruments ... continue reading
