I watched Gibsons interview on Brian Ray's guitar collection and since I live a little to close to Palm Springs I recognized some of the background landscape as being North Palm Springs Movie Colony area near Chino Canyon which is the canyon that holds the Palm Springs Areal Tramway. So, I Google mapped it and scoped in on his Les Pool / Les Paul shaped swimming pool. It shows up at 2270 N Vista Dr Palm Springs Ca 92262 if you want to take an areal view of it. Pretty cool.
I have also known about another guitar pool of a double neck Gibson from some 25 year ago when I helped somebody either move furniture or helped clean the house. I can't remember. This one is at 30349 Kieth Ave Cathedral City Ca 92234. This areal view does not look the same as I remember it when I was in that back yard some 25 years ago. If I recall, it was a normal colored pool blue and the volume and tone knobs were actually under water bar stools with numbers 1 - 10 and all. So, they either modified this pool since then or replaced it with some type of art work.
I thought it might be fun if others here knew of any musical instrument shaped pools or other fun pool shapes and where they are located.
Does the noise in your head bother me ?

Never heard of him before but seems he liked living the good life,
From Wikipedia,
Lavish lifestyle and later years[edit]
As his music faded from the spotlight, Pierce became known for his excessive lifestyle. He had North Hollywood tailor Nudie Cohen, who had made flamboyant suits for Pierce, line two convertibles with silver dollars. He built a $30,000 guitar-shaped swimming pool at his Nashville home which became a popular paid tourist attraction — nearly 3,000 people visited it each week — causing his neighbors, led by singer Ray Stevens, to file suit and prevail against Pierce to end the tours.[2]
Webb Pierce (East Coast Tour - w/ Jerry Galloway) back stage at the Cedarwood Log Cabin - Southern New Jersey ... probably Fall 1974
He remained with Decca and its successor, MCA, well into the 1970s, but by 1977 he was recording for Plantation Records. Even though he had occasional minor hits, charting in a 1982 duet with Willie Nelson, a remake of "In the Jailhouse Now," he spent his final years tending to his businesses, and his legend became clouded due to his reputation as a hard drinker.[3] Webb and his daughter Debbie recorded the ballad "On My Way Out" as the Pierces, and she was a member of the country group Chantilly in the early 1980s.
Pierce waged a long battle with pancreatic cancer, which he lost on February 24, 1991, and was buried in the Woodlawn Memorial Park Cemetery in Nashville.[citation needed]

I'm guessing Liberace's old house has a piano shaped pool but i have no clue where that might be...Las Vegas maybe....
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
