Blueberry Hill brings back fond memories.
I was a teen ager at Bible School in St. Paul, MN.
A couple nights some of us were working second shift and went to a Drive In Restaurant called Porky's Grill. There were some cute waitresses there (of course they were sinners and off limits to us young preachers) but I think I fell in love (more like in lust) but of course I was too shy to say anything or do anything or pursue it. I sang the song over and over in my mind "I found my thrill at Porky's Grill." Every now and then I see several of us guys in the car and the waitress approaches. The night air is crisp and clean. In my mind I can see her at the car window taking our order and almost smell her perfume. She's young, shapely, pretty, and over half a century later I wonder "what if.....?" and the song rings in my mind, "I found my thrill at Porky's Grill"

You mentioned Fats Domino, and I'm all ears...especially when "Walkin' To New Awlins" is playing...
First time I heard that was while working at Pappadeaux's back in the mid-90s around Mardi Gras, and it's left a good mark in my memory of music ever since!
