    About this ebook

    A Tuxedo tomcat visits a home in Silver Lake, Los Angeles. He owns the long stairway from Vendome Street to Descanso Drive, known as the Music Box steps, where Laurel and Hardy filmed the schlep-a-thon piano delivery movie. He is named Yinyang. Coming and going, he carries nothing, not even his name, since he may have another name in another place. Perhaps he goes and comes to other places where he charms other hearts, perhaps yours.
