Uh, Bats Domino is a piano player, okay?
Now traditionally, people think of rock and roll, they think of, don't take this personally, you know, guitar.
Piano players sometimes get a hard time, but I'll tell you a story about Bats Domino and the impact it had on my life.
I took piano lessons when I was a kid, and my father played the piano.
I always wanted to get feedback from my father.
You know, how am I doing, dad, how am I doing?
He was a great piano player.
I learned Mozart, you know, Sonata in C.
Nothing.
I learned Chopin etudes.
Nothing.
Moonlight Sonata.
Nothing.
I didn't get anything.
One day, my father was upstairs, I played, this was in the late 50s, I started playing Ain't That a Shame.
Ain't that a shame.
My father came down the stairs in one step and hit me so hard [B] that he knocked me out.
[C] [Eb] And [G] I was out, and I woke up, and I said, he heard me.
And I knew from then on what I was going to do.
I was going to play the piano, but I was going to play rock and roll.
And I want to thank [A] the man who proved that the piano was a rock and roll instrument, Bats Domino.

And it's a pleasure being here with the great artists that have been on stage before I came on tonight, like Ray Charles, Chuck Berry.
All of them great.
Jan Brown.
But I wish that Elvis Presley, Sam Cooke, Buddy Holly were still living to be
I wish they were still living to be here with us tonight.
May God bless them wherever they may be.
