Yep, you shoulda bought it, and the one on either side of it too :))

Unfortunately you would be paying more taxes on them than most 
musicians in N. California make a year.

You can't buy a storage shed in Montclair these days for $55,000.

Do you know what they call and $850,000. home in Lafayette, Orinda, 
Moraga just over the hill from there ?

"A fixer upper ":))  and anything under $400,000.00 is called a 
"Bulldozer"

What I would like to now is Where are they getting all that money ?  
Sure not many of them are musicians, except for a few Major ROCKers in 
the area.   One of my neighbors owns KFRC radio station so he is not 
doing too bad.

Is the farm next door to you available ?

Time to start thinking about getting out of Sunny California :))

Musical content:

"Take the Money and Run"

Cheers,

Tom

Oh man, Martha and I lived in Montclair from 1966 to 1969. Know exactly
where that joint is located. Down the hill in Oakland. We were 
negotiating
to buy a house in Piedmont for $55,000 in 1968 when I decided to take a 
job
offer I couldn't refuse, in Philadelphia.

Bet that house is now at least a $million. Rats, if we'd stayed there I
might have a gig. :-) VBG

Cheers,
Steve
