A white Steinway grand piano salvaged from 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.
Its restoration came through $30,000 donated to the Louisiana Museum Foundation.

The Ct music scene lost one of its own this past weekend.
Grayson Minney, the lead singer and guitarist for the group Columbia Fields, was killed in a car crash early Saturday morning.
According to police, Minney was on Route 85 in Hebron around 3:40 a.m. when he apparently lost control of his car. The car struck a guardrail, went airborne, and crashed into two large trees.
Columbia Fields, and Grayson Minney, have long been fixtures on the Connecticut music scene.
In 2010 the group won a competition to open for Bon Jovi at the Mohegan Sun Arena. Columbia Fields also won the Hartford Advocate’s “Best Indie Band” award in 2008, 2009, and 2010.
More recently, Grayson Minney was involved with the “Downtown Rocks For Newtown” benefit. Minney was 28 yrs old.
