Born: February 26, 1928 in New Orleans, Louisiana
[Died] October 24, 2017. An American singer and pianist from Herbie, Louisiana. His real name was Antoine Domino, Jr. A pioneer of rock music who was active in the R&B (→ rhythm and blues) world. He created a unique atmosphere with his carefree playing style. Born into a musical family, he was introduced to music at a young age by his brother-in-law, a guitarist. He began performing in clubs as a teenager, and was discovered by Dave Bartholomew in 1949. His first recording, The Fat Man (1950), was the start of a string of hits, and the songs he recorded in the 1950s and 1960s sold about 65 million copies. His boogie-woogie piano playing with saxophone and drums, and his swinging vocals in a mid-baritone range with a uniform sound, were loved. They released rock arrangements of standard songs, including their signature song "Blueberry Hill" (1956). In 1986, they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Dominoes

It is an indoor game. It uses a rectangular board of 28 tiles with the same design as the dice, from blank (0-0) to 6-6, and all combinations of these tiles. These tiles are called dominoes (bone). It is said to have been invented in China and introduced to Europe around the 14th century, but historical records only show that it was used in Italy and France in the mid-18th century. There are various ways to play it, but the common way is to shuffle the dominoes face down, take a set number of them, and place them in order starting with 6-6 (6-6 on 6-1, 1-5, etc.). The game ends when someone has played all of their dominoes, and the other players lose the total points of the remaining dominoes and the set premium points. Games include Partnership Block Game (played by four people in pairs), All Fives (if the sum of the numbers on the two dominoes at both ends of a line-up during play is a multiple of five, points are awarded for each multiple), and Bargain (if the numbers on both ends of a line-up are the same during play, points are awarded).
