Fats Domino’s flood-damaged Steinway grand piano is restored, going on display in New Orleans

NEW ORLEANS – A white Steinway grand piano salvaged from legendary musician Fats Domino’s home after Hurricane Katrina has had its classic looks restored and will be the centerpiece of an exhibit in New Orleans’ French Quarter.

The piano was damaged after water poured through a broken levee during the August 2005 storm, flooding Domino’s home in the Lower 9th Ward, which was devastated by Katrina’s floodwaters.

The piano was unveiled Thursday at the Old U.S. Mint, now a museum in the French Quarter.

Katrina tore into Louisiana and Mississippi on Aug. 29, 2005. Flooding from storm surge and broken levees washed over an estimated 80 per cent of New Orleans.

Domino, born in New Orleans in 1928, sold more than 65 million records between 1950 and 1963, making Billboard’s pop chart 77 times and its rhythm and blues chart 61 times. The pianist, singer and songwriter is regarded as

Initial reports that the largest single donation ($18,000) was made by Toronto media mogul and jazz aficionado Allan Slaight were incorrect. The gift, Mr. Slaight told The Globe and Mail , was actually made by his daughter, Marie.

Now based in Sydney, Australia, Ms. Slaight is a writer, performer and producer of film, theatre and music. She lived for a time in New Orleans.

Other donations came from Sir Paul McCartney, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and the
