Cozy 1BR with Vu, Musicians Welcome?

Soundcheck | May 3, 2010
In the New York real estate market, buyers and renters worry about space, light, or location. But for musicians, the question becomes, "where do I practice?" Today, a look at the history and price tags of famous musicians' homes with Steven Gaines, author of "The Sky's the Limit;" Jamie Bernstein Thomas, a writer, broadcaster and the daughter of the late Leonard Bernstein; and composer Lisa Bielawa, who moved into an apartment just for a piano that lived there. Also on the show: Singer-songwriter and composer Gabriel Kahane performs live songs that defy genre classification and he talks about his "Craigslistlieder," an eight-song cycle based on unedited posts from Craigslist.org.
