Sorry about the quality, it's snowing so the lighting was difficult.

WOW! Another BEEYOUTEEFULL home. You guys are making me really envious.

It snows in California??????? Of course I have no idea where Tehachapi is. The only other time I've heard of it is in a lyric in a great song called Willin', by Little Feat.

"I've been from Tuscon to Tucumcari
Tehachapi to Tonapah
Driven' every kind of rig that's ever been made
Now I've driven the back roads so I wouldn't get weighed
And if you give me: weed, whites, and wine
and you show me a sign
I'll be willin', to be movin'

Should you be interested (and if you don't like countryish music, you won't be), here is an abbreiviated version of Willin'. Bill Payne's Floyd Cramer-like piano solo still moves me, and I have no idea why.

next verse

Now I smuggled some smokes and folks from Mexico
baked by the sun, every time I go to Mexico, and I'm still
And I've been kicked be the wind, robbed by the sleet
Had my head stoved in and I'm still on my feet and I'm willin', oh I'm willin'

Ah, Lowell George at the height of his career.
That tune shows up in different formats on at "least" 3 Feat
releases that I know of. It was often requested in concert and a favorite among truckers and Feat fans everywhere.
Thanks for reminding me Jack. I think I'll pull on my "Sailing Shoes" and time travel back to the 70's

Very nice home and great set up! I love that open floor plan.

Saw 'em live when I was a DJ at WHCN in Hartford, Ct. They opened for Bonnie Raitt. LOVE Sailin' Shoes; Dixie Chicken as well.

Apologies for the hijack, Michael. Mea Culpa!

Thanks everyone, My dream is to eventually get everything downstairs where I can build dedicated HT room with 4 walls, a projector and qs8's mounted along the sides and rear.

Alright! Party at Michael's house tonight...

Those couches look very inviting. Makes the home theater experience that much better. Two thumbs up.

That's a beautiful home you have Michael. I really love the wooden beam/cathedral ceiling look.
