Time for some heavenly Holdsworth, and it’s ’Secrets’ (1989, DL). Just a superb album, some of those solos/runs are just gobsmacking. Some great writing here benefits this album too. 😎✅

Rough morning for Percy the cat. The big, bad vacuum monster was run today and I forgot to open the bedroom door so he could hide under the bed. <shame on me!> All is well now. He is in my lap and relaxing and enjoying many pets.
A photo of Percy (the cat, or Perseus if you are being formal about it) a mostly white harlequin cat who is sort of, kinda of looking at me from his perch on my lap.

The Brown Derby, early 1940s, Los Angeles, California 🌴
This black-and-white vintage photograph captures a bustling street scene outside the Wilshire Brown Derby restaurant in Los Angeles, California.Key Architectural Elements. The Hat Structure: The prominent focal point is the restaurant itself, famously designed in the literal shape of a giant brown derby hat. A smaller sign mimicking the same hat shape sits on a small scaffolding tower directly on top of the dome.The Background: To the right, a tall, multi-story brick building (The Gaylord Apartments) rises into the sky, creating a stark contrast against the novelty architecture of the eatery.Street Activity & FashionThe Crowds: A dense crowd of people lines the sidewalk surrounding the restaurant. The majority of the patrons and onlookers are dressed in formal, mid-century attire, with men wearing suits and fedoras and women in dresses and structured hats.The Vehicles: Several vintage automobiles from the late 1930s and early 1940s are parked or driving along the street in the foreground, including a prominent dark sedan traversing the intersection.The composition captures the lively energy of Old Hollywood, showing the restaurant during its golden era as a premier celebrity hotspot and cultural landmark.
