Music lives here: Where recording history was made
By Laura Vecsey, Zillow
With their musical achievements crafted in attics, basements, bungalows, Victorians, Jersey cottages and Hollywood mansions, the legends of pop, folk, alternative, rap and rock have shown that home may not be where the heart is, but it's definitely where the art is.
From the hills of Los Angeles to the lakes of Tennessee, some of America's most original and game-changing creators have called upon special, sometimes spiritual places to conjure their muses to bring forth the tunes.
With the 54th Grammys coming Sunday, we went on a magical mystery tour to uncover some of the iconic locales where award-winning music was inspired, written and recorded.
Grateful Dead

The Summer of Love took place in 1967 in the center of the flower power universe: The Haight-Ashbury. And right in the thick of things was the Grateful Dead, who famously occupied 710 Ashbury Street (above) from 1966 until 1968. It was there that Jerry Garcia and the gang spawned not just a new music scene, but a new pop culture era that bent all the Establishment's rules.
Part of the Hayes Valley real estate market, this Victorian was the site of the Dead's famous drug bust in 1967. Garcia managed to move on to bigger and more spacious digs later in life, including this Marin County home that was listed for sale in 2010.
Jefferson Airplane
2400 Fulton Street, San Francisco, Calif.
Zillow
Jefferson Airplane hit the scene in 1966, a year before the Dead, and occupied a similarly famous Haight-Ashbury dwelling -- a Victorian at 2400 Fulton St. that was right near Golden Gate Park. Airplane founder Marty Balin talked about the place in a video he shot in 2009, when he revisited the house that is now privately owned:
"Yup, 2400 Fulton Street. This was the Airplane mansion. This was our office and at one point, we all lived here. It was quite a party pad. We had the Dead, Big Brother, Janice and anybody else in town would come over. We had a pool table in there and we had a recording studio in the basement,'' Balin said.
The house figured so much into the Airplane's early days they named a record after it: 2400 Fulton Street.
Johnny Cash & June Carter Cash
200 Claudill Drive, Hendersonville, Tenn.
People.com
Johnny Cash in front of his lakeside home that later burned down.
One of the most famous homes in country music -- or any musical genre, given the reach of Johnny Cash's career -- was the home of Cash and his wife, June Carter Cash. The property figured in the Cash bio-pic, "Walk The Line" and for nearly all of their 35-year marriage, the Cash family lived in the massive, 13,880-square-foot home that ran along on Old Hickory Lake. The lake house was set on a solid rock foundation. The property had an outdoor swimming pool, bell garden, four 35-foot round rooms, seven bedrooms, and five full baths.
But it was more than a house. It was the spiritual home of Cash and the artistic and cultural universe he created, drawing likes of Bob Dylan, evangelist Billy Graham, Carl Perkins, Brooks & Dunn and other high priests and priestesses of the music, entertainment and political worlds. The place was memorialized in a song by Cash's daughter, Rosanne Cash, "House On The Lake."
After Johnny and June both died six months apart in 2003, the house was sold to singer Barry Gibbs and his wife, who were undertaking a massive renovation. Their plan was to pay homage to Cash and his legend by inhabiting the famous home, but that never happened. The home burned down during the remodel. The event prompted none less than the Oak Ridge Boys to remark that it might have been God's will; no one else but Johnny Cash was meant to live in that house.
Zillow
Johnny Cash spent his final days at this ranch house he owned across the street from his lake house.
What is less known, however, is that Cash wound up living in the house he owned across the street at 187 Claudill Drive. The ranch home (above) was built by the same architect, and Cash had used it to house his own parents prior to their passing.
"He spent his last days there after it was harder for him to get around in a wheelchair in lake house,'' said Stan Peacock, whose father-in-law -- a former Grand Ole Opry musician -- bought the house from the Cash family in 2004.
The ranch house, which was always referred to as "Mama Cash's house" because it was where Cash's mother lived, has been listed for sale for a modest $595,000. It once housed some very unique Cash mementos, including the Gold Record for Cash's major hit: "I Walk The Line.''
The Band at Big Pink
56 Parnassus Lane, West Saugerties, NY
BigPinkBasement.com
We're not sure there's a house so singularly identified with a band, The Band, and its iconic, genius collaborator, Bob Dylan, where an album was written and recorded and still celebrated for its dramatic and enduring success.
Welcome to "Music From Big Pink," where the house used by The Band generated one of the greatest albums of all-time. Located just outside of Woodstock in upstate New York, Big Pink was a rental property found by Band member, Rick Danko, who in turn brought in Dylan, who used the place as a retreat and place for experimentation that resulted in songs like "Chest Fever," "The Weight" and "Long, Black Veil." In addition to "Music From Big Pink," the pink-sided dwelling also spawned "The Basement Tapes.''
Since 1998, Big Pink has been owned by Don and Susan LaSala, who call themselves stewards of this musical shrine. Good thing, since many fans of The Band and Dylan continue to make pilgrimages to the grand, pink house of music.
The Mansion, owned by Rick Rubin
8134 Tianna Rd. Los Angeles, Calif.
Greg Headley
Uber-producer Rick Rubin's house.
He doesn't know how to work a sound board. He doesn't read music or play any instruments. But Rick Rubin knows what makes a good song and great records. That's why this producer is called a musical guru and his three-story, 1923 Spanish villa is considered one of the most deeply steeped venues in music history.
After starting Def Jam records with Russell Simmons, Rubin has continued to reinvent the music industry, marrying rap with metal and bringing in a variety of artists to record ground-breaking, career-shaping music in his mammoth studio: Johnny Cash, Neil Diamond, Jakob Dylan, Dixie Chicks, Slayer, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Jay-Z. While the guru now prefers to live on the beach at Malibu, his home continues to be a mecca for Grammy-making music.
Motown's Hitsville U.S.A.
2646 W. Grand Blvd., Detroit, Mich.
Zillow
Motown's first headquarters
This is the cradle of the Motown Sound. "Hitsville U.S.A." -- a former photographers' studio -- was Motown's first headquarters. Label founder Berry Gordy bought it in 1959. What came next was a recording studio where a non-stop creative churn filled the airwaves with a sound that changed radio and the music industry.
The lineup of artists included Smokey Robinson, Diana Ross & The Supremes, Stevie Wonder, the Jackson 5, Marvin Gaye, Tammi Terrell, The Four Tops and The Temptations, who won the recording studio its belated first Grammy in 1972 for "Papa Was A Rolling Stone."
While Gordy finally moved to Los Angeles to create Hitsville West, the Motown sound will always be known for its birthplace in the Motor City, where Gordy mirrored the assembly-line approach of the car industry -- to sweeter strains.
Kurt Cobain of Nirvana
171 Lake Washington Blvd. Seattle, Wash.
Flickr user Etsy Ketsy
Kurt Cobain's house, where the Nirvana frontman committed suicide in 1994.
Unlike the homes where music history was made for all the right reasons, Kurt Cobain's home in Seattle made history for all the wrong ones. The Nirvana front man who brought grunge music from the rain-slicked Pacific Northwest to a world audience took his life in the greenhouse over the garage of his Denny-Blaine neighborhood home.
It was an abrupt and stunning end to a life and artist who had taken all the angst and swirling mix of nihilistic pessimism of his Aberdeen, Wash., childhood to a new musical frontier. While his larger-than-life wife Courtney Love tore down the garage and sold the property in 1997, the cedar shake-sided house overlooking Seattle's Lake Washington continues to be a mecca for fans of one of music's most intensely talented and tortured souls.
Shangri-La Recording Studio
300065 Morning View Drive, Malibu, Calif.
Zillow
The Shangr-La home and recording studio has hosted a myriad of popular musicians.
There are no shortage of real estate listings claiming the property is a veritable "Shangri-La." In the case of the famous Malibu music studio that hosted milestone recording sessions for many top artists, it is a real Shangri-La.
Originally built by actress Margo Albert, who starred in the movie "Lost Horizon" and who aimed to recreate a mystical place, the Zuma Beach property elicited ethereal performances from some of music's biggest stars: Bob Dylan, The Band, Eric Clapton, Billy Preston, Van Morrison, Ringo Starr, Joe Cocker and more.
The studio and living quarters have been described by The Band drummer Levon Helm as "a clubhouse and studio where we and our friends could record albums and cross-pollinate one another's music."
The place hosted is a who's-who of recording history, including the 2012 Grammy favorite Adele, whose song "Rolling in the Deep" was not only recorded at Shangri-La Ranch, but the music video was also filmed there.
Shangri-la went on the real estate market last May for $4.1 million.
The Eagles
Beverly Hills Hotel, Sunset Blvd. Los Angeles Calif.
Flickr user: T Hoffarth
The dark and mysterious nature of the Eagles' mega-hit album "Hotel California" stems from its use of one of the oldest literary tricks in the book: A weary traveler stops into an inn that at first glance holds a fascinating promise, only to entrap the traveler in its frightening confines.
While the Eagles have endured decades of miserable interpretations about what the title song of their all-time great recording meant, one element of the song and album reveals itself with some clarity: Since the cover of the album is a picture of the Beverly Hills Hotel, there's no mistaking that famous landmark as a metaphor for the trappings of American excess, particularly the Los Angeles music scene of the '70s.
"Hotel California" is Rolling Stone magazine's 49th greatest song of all time. It's one of the 500 songs that shaped rock 'n roll, according to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. It won "Record of the Year" at the 1977 Grammy awards and it is ranked No. 8 in the Top 100 Guitar Solos, according to Guitar Magazine.
As for the fabled hotel, it remains a beacon in the Beverly Hills real estate market and continues to stand out as a highly-rated accommodation.
Bruce Springsteen
7 1/2 W. End Ct. Long Branch, NJ
The Long Branch, NJ, house where Bruce Springsteen wrote
In 2009, fans of Bruce Springsteen beat out potential developers seeking to turn this commercial-area bungalow into another strip mall, or something. What the fans recognized is that posterity was more important than bulldozers. Why? Because this is the house where Jersey's famous singer/songwriter/rocker penned the music for his breakout album, "Born To Run."
The home appears to have such special allure that in 2009, Bob Dylan was found reportedly wandering in the rain near the 890-square-foot house. Given Dylan's respect for music history, with his affinity for legends like Hank Williams and Woody Guthrie, that all but cements the value of this little white refuge.

Experience customer service the way you want it | Business Reporter
12 February 2012
The best contact centre specialists can turn the challenges of social media into advantages. By monitoring and analysing every customer response, consumers get what they want most ? great service
The boom in social media has revolutionised the way we communicate, yet the vast majority of businesses seem unable or unwilling to join the conversation.
?Companies that want to increase customer loyalty have to embrace social media,? says Alistair Niederer, UK CEO of Teleperformance, the global leader in customer experience management.
?But statistics show that only 16 per cent of companies are looking at what customers are saying about them on social media sites such as Twitter and Facebook. Many don?t know how to get started or can?t decide who should take responsibility.?
The two key challenges of social media are also the things that make them so powerful if handled correctly, says Matt Sims, Teleperformance?s executive vice president of business development.
Matt Sims and Alistair Niederer of Teleperformance - shaking up customer experience
?Firstly, they?re immediate. Customers choose the channel that best suits their needs at the time, and they use social media when they want answers quickly. Using our social media manager tool, we?ve been able to respond to posts and tweets within two hours: that?s the kind of service consumers expect today.
?Social media is also ?one-to-many?. A tweet can be picked up by millions of people within seconds and so can a company?s response. And Facebook can have enormous reach. A major retail client of ours started with 60,000 ?likes? on Facebook: after 18 months with social media manager it had more than 230,000,? says Sims.
Teleperformance is a pioneer in ?buzz monitoring? ? reading and analysing what is being said about its clients and their sector in various social media. It can also even classify mentions as complaints or compliments.
Are consumers grumbling that a product is too expensive or wishing it had different features? Do they regret that the company has no web chat facility or Facebook page? The company might never have known that it was losing out, or why.
Depending on the client?s preferences, Teleperformance teams of customer experience advisors may quickly respond to a post or tweet. If it was a complaint it can be nipped in the bud before it snowballs. If someone requested information they ? and all their followers ? know how efficiently the company can respond. If a competitor is having a bad day, the company may be able to gain some advantage.
?Business insights are a big part of our offering,? says Sims. ?In collaboration with the client, we build a glossary of terms to look out for, and use it to monitor all kinds of media and customer communications. We almost always come up with new learnings or recommendations that can enhance the customer experience.?
These business insights cut across all communications channels to provide a comprehensive view of the customer base.
Social media should not stand alone, but be part of an integrated, multi-channel experience, Niederer believes.
?All companies should offer customers as wide a choice of channels as possible, with each giving the same immediacy of experience,? he says. ?Customer experience advisors are highly trained to offer multiple channels of engagement, from web, email and social media to voice and letter.
?Adding social media to the customer channel strategy provides the opportunity to listen to customers better and engage them at a new level. This enables companies to retain customers, increase loyalty, and build and grow their customer base.?

How Did Washington State and Washington, D.C., Get the Same Name?
Contemporary statesmen would have argued that Washington, D.C., was a city, not a territory or state, so the duplication of the name wouldn't be such a big deal. There were already lots of localities that shared names with states, such as Florida, N.Y., and Georgia, Vt., not to mention cities that have the same name as their own state, like New York City and Delaware City. By the mid-19th century, there were already dozens of place names that included the word Washington, and there are at least 120 today. (The first was Fort Washington?now known as Washington Heights?established in New York during the Revolutionary War.)
