New Orleans, LA (Billboard Publicity Wire) June 8, 2007 -- Legendary musician and New Orleans native Fats Domino sat at a one-of-a-kind Baldwin Baby Grand 'Green' Piano while visiting the International House hotel in New Orleans. While there he serenaded the crowd by singing one of his all time classic hits "Ain't That a Shame" then signed the piano to support the recent initiative to rebuild New Orleans "green" and sustainable. The "Green" piano is made from wood legally harvested from areas that pose no threat to conservation valued forests or violate any civil rights.
