“I never thought about no music,” Domino told Coleman. “It’s just something I guess the Lord gave me. A lot of people went to a conservatory school of music and say they can’t play the simple things I play. I don’t know if I changed music or not, but that’s how I like it and that’s what I stuck with.”
