I love stories from that past era (I’m old enough to relate)

Laurel Canyon was also garden of musical growth and sharing for so many of our 60’s artists.

Such a fraught and beautiful time!

Right now it just feels fraught… I’m looking for the beauty.

Kibbitz requires two b’s.

Thanks Bonnie! I thought so too.

Don’t know why Canter’s chose to go with only one B but that’s their right! 🤷‍♂️

I went to Cantor’s on my honeymoon and ran into Betty White in the bathroom.

The kibbutz room has been a musician hang since before I got to LA in 1975. The food may have better then, or at least for a 20 year old transplant from Kansas. Greenblatts was a bit more gourmet but Canter’s had the soul and welcomed we misfits. KISS, Zappa, Eagles, the Runaways, Bette Midler, Al Kooper, Rod Stewart, pretty much any band, producer or engineer from the Record Plant on 3rd street could be found there on any given night before or after the Rainbow Room. An institution for sure.

Definitely the taste of a 20-year old midwestern transplant! 😂
