This picture shows Al Horowitz giving a simul in Portland, Oregon in early 1942. (note Arthur Dake standing on Horowitz' right, facing him.)

All is not as it seems.   Can anyone identify the cat in the hat?

Actually I think the guy in the overalls and hat really looks like Shadowcat53, aka Frank Zappa.

 Another crazy photo of Reuben Fine.  Here he's frolicking on the beach in 1945 with a starlet (Janet Nigh):

I'm thinking more Lean Redbone, especially the back of his Double Time album.

If you look up Shadow Cat his birth year is 1900. Very strange.

Now that's a lucky man.

Reuben's got himself a Fine girl.
