The New Orleans street where one of the founders of rock ‘n’ roll spent most of his life is being renamed in his honor
A community-wide Second line and Musical Celebration begins at 11 a.m. Saturday at the longtime home of Antoine “Fats” Domino on Caffin Avenue, which will now be known as Antoine “Fats” Domino Avenue. Led by the Stooges Brass Band, the second line will proceed down the renamed street to Oliver Bush Park, where musical tributes to Domino will occur.
Rev. Willie Calhoun, who has lived in the Lower 9 his whole life and is one of the celebration's organizers, said the recognition for Domino is a long-time coming. “I think this event will help bring some life and recognition to the neighborhood. The Lower 9 has gotten so much negative press, we wanted to bring people back to the area and show them the reason why Fats stayed. He stayed because this is a valuable and viable community."
