Sorry, with all the 'sensitivity' going on these days, perhaps we should call him 'Weight Challenged Domino'

I met him back in the day at a dance place in Virginia Beach Virginia. Had a nice conversation . couldn't get over the fact that he had some much large blink on his fingers as was still able to play a mean piano
Also met Roy Orbison at the same club. ..was friends with the manager there. |
