The amiable rock ‘n’ roll pioneer whose steady, pounding piano and easy baritone helped change popular music even as it honored the grand, good-humored tradition of the Crescent City, has died. He was 89. lost three pianos and dozens of gold and platinum records, along with other memorabilia. Many wondered if he would ever return to the stage. Scheduled to perform at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival in 2006, he simply tipped his hat to thousands of cheering fans. His friend Haydee Ellis said then that Domino was “OK, but he doesn’t feel up to performing.” But in May 2007, he was back, performing at Tipitina’s music club in New Orleans. Fans cheered — and some cried — as Domino played “I’m Walkin’,” ‘’Ain’t That a Shame,” ‘’Shake, Rattle and Roll,” ‘’Blueberry Hill” and a host of other hits. That performance was a highlight during several rough years. After losing their home and almost all their belongings to the floods, his wife of more than 50 years, Rosemary, died in April 2008. Domino moved to the New Orleans suburb of Harvey after the storm but would often visit his publishing house, an exten- sion of his old home in the Lower 9th Ward, inspiring many with his determination to stay in the city he loved. “Fats embodies everything good about New Orleans,” his friend David Lind said in a 2008 interview. “He’s warm, fun-loving, spiritual, creative and humble. You don’t get more New Orleans than that.” The son of a violin player, Antoine Domino Jr. was born Feb. 26, 1928, to a family that grew to include nine children. Antoine and Rosemary Domino raised eight children in the same ramshackle neighborhood where he grew up, but they did it in style — in a white mansion, trimmed in pink, yellow and lavender. The front double doors opened into an atrium with chandeliers hanging from the ceiling and ivory dominos set in a white marble floor. As a youth, he taught Kristen Renee Fristoe, 26, of Pendleton, put up a fight when officers arrested her, according to Pendleton Police Chief Stuart Roberts. Police at about 7:45 p.m. Wednesday responded to the parking lot of the former Albertson’s, 1300 S.W. Court Ave., for two females who reported they were assault victims. Roberts said one claimed Fristoe punched her in the face multiple times, breaking her glasses, and the second claimed Fristoe grabbed her by the throat and threw her to the ground. Officer Cody Porter and Cpl. Ryan Lehnert had enough to arrest Fristoe on probable cause, Roberts said, but after they put her in the back of a police car she slipped the handcuffs from behind her back to the himself popular piano styles — ragtime, blues and boogie-woogie — after his cousin left an old upright in the house. Fats Waller and Albert Ammons were early influences. He quit school at age 14, and worked days in a factory while playing and singing in local juke joints at night. In 1949, Domino was playing at the Hideaway Club for $3 a week when he was signed by Imperial record company. He recorded his first song, “The Fat Man,” in the back of a tiny French Quarter recording studio. “They call me the Fat Man, because I weigh 200 pounds,” he sang. “All the girls, they love me, ‘cause I know my way around.” “Fat Man” sold more than 1 million copies and has been called the first rock ‘n’ roll record. That’s not a unique claim in the music world, but Domino, with help from songwriting partner Dave Bartholomew, shaped the new genre by providing Imperial with rhythm and blues hits for the next five years, including “Rockin’ Chair” and “You Done Me Wrong.” In 1955, he broke into the white pop charts with “Ain’t It A Shame” — in which he sang the lyrics as “ain’t that a shame.” It was covered blandly by Pat Boone as “Ain’t That a Shame” and rocked out years later under that title by Cheap Trick and many others. Domino enjoyed a parade of successes through the early 1960s, including “Be My Guest” and “I’m Ready.” Another hit, “I’m Walkin,’” became the debut single for Ricky Nelson.

Lehnert did not suffer a serious injury, Roberts said, and the officers booked Fristoe into the Umatilla County Jail, Pendleton. Circuit court records show she faces initial charges of assaulting a public safety officer for striking Lehnert and aggravated harassment for spitting on Porter. Both charges are class C felonies in Oregon. The district attorney’s office also charged Fristoe with misdemeanors of resisting arrest and second-degree disorderly conduct, plus two counts of fourth-degree assault related to the two women. 6RIDV¶Q0RUH +HUPLVWRQ 6RIDV¶Q0RUH *UHJ·V 6RIDV¶Q0RUH 1RWMXVWD*UHDW0DWWUHVV6WRUH H AMLEY S aloon Halloween Party Umatilla County Justice Center, 4700 N.W.

(Jutta Haliewicz 541- 276-0240) Pendleton police arrest woman for multiple assaults Fats Domino stirred New Orleans flavor into rock ‘n’ roll NEW ORLEANS (AP) — In appearance, Fats Domino wasn’t a typical teen idol. He stood 5-feet-5 and weighed more than 200 pounds, with a wide, boyish smile and a haircut as flat as an album cover. But Domino sold more than 110 million records, with hits including “Blueberry Hill,” “Ain’t That a Shame” and other standards of rock ‘n’ roll. Domino, the amiable rock ‘n’ roll pioneer whose steady, pounding piano and easy bari- tone helped change popular music even as it honored the grand, good-humored tradi- tion of the Crescent City, died early Tuesday. He was 89. Mark Bone, chief inves- tigator with the Jefferson Parish, Louisiana, coroner’s office, said Domino died of natural causes early Tuesday morning. His dynamic performance style and warm vocals drew crowds for five decades. One of his show-stopping stunts was playing the piano while standing, throwing his body against it with the beat of the music and bumping the grand piano across the stage. Domino’s 1956 version of “Blueberry Hill” was selected for the Library of Congress’ National Recording Registry of historic sound recordings worthy of preservation. The preservation board noted that Domino insisted on performing the song despite his producer’s doubts, adding that Domino’s “New Orleans roots are evident in the Creole inflected cadences that add richness and depth to the performance.” He was one of the first 10 honorees named to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Rolling Stone Record Guide likened him to Benjamin Franklin, the beloved old man of a revolutionary movement. Domino became a global star but stayed true to his hometown, where his fate was initially unknown after Hurri- cane Katrina struck in August 2005. It turned out that he and his family were rescued by boat from his home, where he Page 5A /LIW&KDLUV :HHNGD\V$3 6DWXUGD\$3 6XQ13 $GMXVWDEOH%HGV 1RZ 0DULDQD 4XHHQ *UHJ·V 6OHHS&HQWHU '4'6*'5614';174.11-+0)(14T 0HPRU\)RDP 6RIDV¶Q0RUH 10/26 Jezebel Geostorm (PG13) 4:30 7:00 9:30 The Mountain Between Us (PG13) 4:50 7:20 9:50 Happy Death Day (PG13) 5:00 7:30 10:10 The Foreigner (R) 4:40 7:10 10:00 My Little Pony (PG) 4:00 Blade Runner 2049 (R) 6:20 9:40 Tickets available now!
