Original Toronto Star caption: Fats Domino is wading through '50s at Hook and Ladder Club this week and Star staff writer Peter Goddard says his New Orleans rock rolls like sweet thunder from under his stubby hands. The singer-pianist dispenses with usual nightclub formalities. He rarely introduces songs. He just plays his unique piano style.
