Gabriel KahaneCozy 1BR with Vu, Musicians Welcome?
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.

Currently, Leonard Bernstein former 4BR at The Dakota is up for sale (for $25.5 M) while Harry Belafonte's massive West End Avenue co-op was just sold for a cool $10.75 M. Author Steven Gaines, writer Jamie Bernstein Thomas, and composer Lisa Bielawa talk about musicians' experiences in New York's difficult real estate market.
