Fats & his wife live in New Orleans...
Anyone know if they got out before the storm hit? |

On Toussaint:
quote:
Producer and musician Allen Toussaint, who wrote "Working in a Coalmine" and "Get Out of My Life Woman," was initially reported to have been one of the 15,000 refugees at the Superdome. It turns out that the night before the hurricane hit, he had moved to the Astor Plaza hotel in the French Quarter. "I'm the die-hard Orleans southerner," said the 67-year-old Toussaint. "I always think I'm going to stay through the storm."
Toussaint said the water outside his hotel was high, but "it wasn't waist-deep," so he waded out and caught a chartered bus. He headed for Baton Rouge at 6:55 a.m. yesterday, flew to Houston and then to New York, where his label, NYNO Records, is located.
( Washington Post )
I haven't read anything about Dr.John. Isn't Daniel Lanois also a resident of New Orleans?
