WLOX-TV - The News for South Mississippi: Fountain And His Clarinet Ignore His Post Katrina Stress Issues: "When Pete Fountain steps on stage, he should feel like he's home. He's performing in the same room where he entertained casino guests before Katrina.
His real home is a mile from the Hollywood Casino. And it was center stage when the hurricane slammed into Bay St. Louis.
'I've been there maybe three times since the storm,' he admitted.
Moments after making that comment, the jazz legend wet his reed, smiled, and said, 'The Hollywood Blues.' He took a deep breath. Suddenly a harmony of blues notes flowed from his clarinet. And to him, it sounded as good as it did six decades ago, when a 15-year-old Fountain first performed in public."
