Kind words from the late, great Don Walser

Floyd Domino brought home his Best Keyboards Award in 2010 to keep company with the two Grammy Awards won for featured work with Asleep at the Wheel.

A few of Floyd's notable awards:

“incredibly talented people (like) Floyd”…
Ray Benson, Asleep at the Wheel

“If there are any musicians on the planet who are not familiar with his extraordinary talent, Floyd is not only a musician’s musician, he is THE guitarist’s choice for keyboards– who else could improvise like crazy, at the drop of a hat, no less, in the key of E? They don’t get any better than Floyd.”
Bart Bryant

“…his (Floyd’s) masterful piano skills.”
Billboard Magazine Spotlight Reviews, The Lucky Strikes, by Carrie Bell

"Grammy-winner Floyd Domino’s stellar boogie-woogie and swing has been heard on dozens of #1 radio hits.

With a recording resume from George Strait to Herb Ellis to Waylon Jennings to Asleep at the Wheel to Merle Haggard to Willie Nelson to Townes Van Zandt and beyond, Floyd’s piano has been heard all over the world and even beamed up to the space shuttle. NASA beamed George Strait’s Ace in the Hole to the space shuttle Columbia in a wake-up call that featured Floyd’s sparkling boogie-woogie piano solo. Currently, Floyd’s piano is heard every weekday on over 100 radio stations on the Jim Hightower talk radio show, broadcast live from Austin."
