    Played on Radio Nova in the eighties. Recorded myself on cassette tape but only AM radio.

    When I was a little fella, the auld fella told me Fats Domino was from Clonroche. To this day, every time I hear his name, I think “yer man from Clonroche”. :)

    A sad day for Clonroche. :(

    Blueberry Hill is also the inspiration for one of the all time classics, The Gay Rooster Song.

    I'll be honest - didn't know he was still with us. Shame on me.

    I have a fine Best Of vinyl.

    Really enjoy spinning that and trying to copy him - esp the bass lines. Pretty solid. Up there with the best of them.

    Because if you stand loads of dominos up on a flat surface, around an inch and a half apart, and knock the first one over, it'll cause all subsequent dominos to topple over. A bit like a domino-effect, actually.
