10/2024: Wisconsin Family Trip!

It is funny how life happens. In one month I pass up like 4 trips and in the months after when things "calm" down I go on back to back trips in the same week! I am not sure what killed me more but I am mostly alive still! No regrets though, family reunions are great!

Monday:

We flew from SNA to PHX in the early afternoon. There was a small layover in Phoenix. The first flight was 1 hour and then the next flight was 3 hours. We flew from PHX to MSN. Both flights went great. We rented a car, a KIA SUV, and man Kia came to play-it was a solid car. It was a 2 hour drive from Madison to Bloomington. There was also a 2 hour time difference, so it was uber late when we got in. One of our family members met us in town and guided us in, which was really nice. We stayed up way too late talking but it has been a minute since I have had such a warm welcome-especially since I have not met many of these people before. (If I did meet them, its been many years and I was very young).

Tuesday:

Waking up the next day, with California being 2 hours behind Wisconsin, was fun. Family members came by that lived down the road or in the next city over. We were told that there was a bakery down in town that was good, so we walked to get some donuts. It was funny, as my family has a reputation so when we walked in-between association or small town news-people looked at us funny. It was really dark when we came in so we took a drive to see the state in daylight. Driving to St Feriole Island was so pretty. Man that is God's Country. We saw the Wisconsin River and the Mississippi River. Villa Louise is nearby so we made plans to tour that later and go to Shihata's Orchard after. Beautiful lot, great products-I can't wait for them to have an online store. We tried Apple Salsa and Jalapeno Berry Jelly. SO GOOD. We toured Villa Louise and I loved it. The house and furniture dated back to 1839. We headed back to the family house. By the time we were back, dinner was done and kids were home from school. The energy a house has when its full of people is amazing. We played some Farkle. We got a family photo, and man that was pretty cool.

Wednesday:

Everyone woke up and we had breakfast. I had a request from back home for Wisconsin Cheese, and really I don't blame them. So we went to Carr Valley Cheese in Fennimore. We hit a thrift store and a coffee shop on the way back. We came back and had dinner with everyone and did more Farkle. We had an early bed time and packed as much as we could the night before.

Thursday:

We got up really early. 2 hour drive from Bloomington to Madison. We dropped off the rental car and went through security. General rule of thumb is to get to an airport 2 hours before the flight leaves. Before we board, they make an announcement that there are some technical issues they are working on. They "fix" them and we board. The flight time gets delayed twice and then we deboard so they can fix the issue. We reboard and then take off AN HOUR LATE. So the original flight we planned to catch got changed around. When we landed we went back to California/Arizona time. Short layover. Then we flew to SNA. It took an hour to get back to my house from the airport, and another hour to get my grandmother home. Funny to think how little ground you cover in 2 hours in california vs wisconsin.

My mom works for American Airlines with her Fiance and set this up to see her mom's side of the family for her mom. We were her first flight trip she set up since she started working there. The weather was supposed to be colder but it was surprisingly warm for this time of year. Most things start to shut down for the season as winter starts to come. I generally enjoyed this trip, some trips feel more like work than relaxing for me. But family is everything and I look forward to seeing them again. Would you go to a family reunion?

LÉGENDES DU JAZZ

RAHSAAN ROLAND KIRK, UN INNOVATEUR HORS PAIR ’’He was an original from the beginning."

- Hank Crawford

Né le 7 août 1935 à Columbus, en Ohio, où il vivait dans un quartier connu sous le nom de Flytown, le multi-instrumentiste Ronald Theodore Kird est devenu aveugle à l’âge de deux ans à la suite de ce qu’il avait qualifié d’erreur médicale. Kirk avait étudié à l’Ohio State School pour aveugles.

À l’âge de quinze ans, Kirk avait commencé à jouer du rhythm n’ blues tous les weekends avec le groupe de Boyd Moore. Selon le saxophoniste Hank Crawford, ‘’il était comme un aveugle de quatorze ans qui jouait de deux saxophones en même temps. Les gens voulaient le sortir de scène, mais il refusait d’abandonner.’’ Crawford avait entendu jouer Kirk à l’époque et l’avait triuvé incroyable. Il expliquait: "Now they had him doing all kinds of goofy stuff but he was playing the two horns and he was playing the shit out of them. He was an original from the beginning." Kirk avait adopté le surnom de Roland après avoir changé deux lettres de son prénom après avoir fait un rêve. Quant à ‘’Rahsaan’’, il l’aurait également entendu dans un rêve.

Très éveillé politiquement, Kirk abordait différents sujets lors de ses concerts, comme l’histoire du peuple afro-américain ou le mouvement des droits civiques. Ses monologues étaient souvent satiriques et fondés sur l’humour absurde. Selon l’animateur et comédien Jay Leno, qui avait souvent accompagné Kirk en tournée, le saxophoniste le présentait en disant : ‘’I want to introduce a young brother who knows the black experience and knows all about the white devils... Please welcome Jay Leno!"

La carrière de Roland Kirk avait duré de 1955 à 1977. Malgré son infirmité, Kirk préférait diriger ses propres groupes, même s’il avait collaboré à l’occasion avec l’arrangeur Quincy Jones, le batteur Roy Haynes et le contrebassiste et compositeur Charles Mingus. L’une des performances les plus connues de Kirk était son interprétation de la pièce ‘’Soul Bossa Nova’’, un succès de 1964 dans lequel il jouait de la flûte en solo. La pièce avait plus tard été reprise dans les films de la série Austin Powers.

Influencé par plusieurs styles musicaux dont le blues, le hard bop, le ragtime, le swing, le free jazz, le stride et le jazz traditionnel, Kirk appréciait également la musée populaire et la musique classique. Des compositions de Camille Saint-Saens, Paul Hindemith, Igor Tchaikovsky, Antonin Dvorak et Heitor Villa-Lobos figurent d’ailleurs sur certains de ses albums. Les influences de Kirk allant bien au-delà du simple jazz, il préférait employer le terme de ‘’black classical music.’’

DÉCES ET INFLUENCE

En 1975, Kirk avait été victime d’un infarctus qui l’avait à moitié paralysé. Malgré son infirmité, Kirk avait continué de jouer et d’enregistrer. Inventeur né, Kirk était si débrouillard qu’il avait modifié ses instruments afin de pouvoir jouer avec un seul bras.

Après avoir eu une seconde attaque, Roland Kirk est décédé le 5 décembre 1977 à l’âge de quarante-deux ans, le lendemain d’une prestation à la Salle Frangipani de l’Association des étudiants de l’Université d’Indiana, à Bloomington, en Indiana. Un peu comme le guitariste gitan Django Reinhardt, Roland Kirk était un virtuose qui avait su contourner les limites de son handicap afin de créer une musique d’une grande originalité.

Multi-intrumentiste, Kirk jouait et collectionnait plusieurs instruments, plus particulièrement les différents types de saxophones, mais aussi les clarinettes et les flûtes. Ses instruments de base étaient le saxophone ténor et un manzello (un saxophone soprano modifié). Il possédait aussi plusieurs instruments exotiques. Très ingénieux, Kirk avait modifié ses instruments lui-même, non seulement afin de transcender son handicap, mais afin de pouvoir jouer de plusieurs instruments simultanément. Habituellement, Kirk se présentait sur la scène avec trois saxophones accrochés autour du cou. Il utilisait la technique de la respiration circulaire, ce qui lui permettait de jouer beaucoup plus longtemps que les autres saxophonistes. À ceux qui lui demandaient pourquoi il jouait de plusieurs instruments en même temps, Kirk avait l’habitude de répondre qu’il tentait seulement de jouer la musique qu’il entendait dans sa tête...

Kirk était également un flûtiste très doué. Selon le critique de jazz Gary Giddins, Kirk avait été le principal innovateur chez les flûtistes de jazz après Eric Dolphy, qui est décédé en 1964. Kirk jouait aussi du sifflet, de l’harmonica et du cor anglais, en plus d’être un assez bon trompettiste (il jouait de la trompette avec une embouchure de saxophone).

Roland Kirk a influencé plusieurs musiciens issus de différents genres musicaux. Ian Anderson, le leader et flûtiste du groupe de rock progressif Jethro Tull, avait reconnu que Kirk était la véritable raison pour laquelle il avait décidé d’introduire la flûte dans la musique rock. Anderson avait d’ailleurs enregistré une version de la pièce ‘’Serenade to a Cuckoo’’ de Kirk sur le premier album du groupe intitulé ‘’This Was’’ (1968). Anderson avait rencontré Kirk lors du festival de jazz de Newport en 1969. Il avait déclaré au sujet de Kirk: "There’s something about these colourful shamans. They can tease us, but we go along with it, because we know they’re touched by genius, but at the same time there’s a little bit of the snake oil for sale.”

Jeff Coffin, le saxophoniste de Béla Fleck and the Flecktones avait également été énormément influencé par la musique de Kirk. Coffin avait d’ailleurs utilisé certaines inventions de Kirk sur son album ‘’Mutopia.’’ Kirk était aussi l’idole du guitariste Jimi Hendrix, qui avait rêvé de travailler un jour avec lui, même si l’occasion ne s’était jamais présentée. Quant à Frank Zappa, il avait été influencé par la musique de Kirk au début de sa carrière. Dans les notes de son pochette de son premier album ‘’The Mothers of Invention Freak Out !’’ (1966), Zappa avait mentionné Kirk comme une de ses influences. Kirk et Zappa ont joué ensemble sur scène seulement une fois, dans le cadre du Boston Globe Jazz Festival en 1969.

Derek Trucks, un inconditionnel de Kirk, avait enregistré sa composition “Volunteered Slavery” avec le groupe portant son nom. Trucks avait déclaré qu’avoir entendu la musique de Kirk lui avait donné la même sensation que lorsqu’il avait écouté les disques de Jimi Hendrix. David Jackson du groupe Van der Graaf Generator avait également été influencé par le style et la technique de Kirk. Sous l’influence de Kirk, Jackson joue d’ailleurs de plusieurs saxophones simultanément au moins depuis 1969.

L’artiste et écrivain Marc-Édouard Nabe était encore adolescent en 1973 lorsqu’il avait assisté à un concert de Kirk. Nabe s’était inspiré plus tard des créations de Kirk pour mettre au point un instrument de musique d’une genre nouveau: le ‘’Nabophone’’, qui était composé d’un pipeau à bec de ténor et d’un pavillon de trombone. Nabe expliquait au sujet de Kirk:

‘’Quand Roland Kirk soufflait pour la première fois, ce n’est pas seulement les moumoutes qui s’envolaient, c’était les âmes : elles restaient collées au plafond tant que le vent n’avait pas cessé, et comme Roland Kirk était le maître de la respiration continue, que je l’ai vu tenir une note 17 minutes, montre en main, nous étions tous les 3000 hors de nous-mêmes, c’est-à-dire profondément à côté, dans le gros souffle prodigieux, ce torrent de cris, de notes, de sons, de noyaux et de pépins, de foutre et de morve, de chants millénaires et de pensées à haute voix, de sang et d’abats de volailles, de mousse et de swing, dans le sillage ainsi sans ambage... A la main gauche : il maniait 5 saxos et un cor anglais : c’est la section d’Ellington ! Avec la main droite, il est aux commandes d’une dizaine de cuivres trafiqués, méconnaissables: on jurerait l’orchestre de Basie : il avance ainsi dans les arrangements, les unissons et les contrechants, ça se croise en grands orchestres, des lignes de riffs et des mélodies devant et derrière une seule note qui tourne, comme en Inde, sous la mélodie, comme en Irlande ! Chaque narine ressemble à une immense bouche qui avale deux cornemuses et cinq flûtes à bec... Dans le petit bout de commissure qui lui reste à droite de la barbe là, au bord des dents, sur les quelques millimètres de peau de libre, entre deux pores enfin : trois harmonicas (un diatonique, deux chromatiques) avec lesquels il fait d’autres accords encore, une vraie symphonie !... »

By: Amy Fredrickson 

The illuminator and painter Zanobi di Benedetto di Caroccio degli Strozzi was born into one of the largest and wealthiest families in Florence on 17 November 1412, although during his lifetime the Strozzi family would lose their battle for supremacy of Florence to the Medici. While Zanobi was primarily active as an illuminator, he also produced both private devotional works and altarpieces.

Zanobi, along with his older brother Francesco and sister Maddalena, were orphaned when he was fifteen. There is a lack of documentation regarding his early life, but tax records prove that between 1427 and 1430 he was living with the illuminator Battista di Biagio Sanguigni (1393-1451) in nearby Fiesole. Due to his aristocratic status, he began his training privately with Sanguigni, rather than an apprenticeship in a workshop. Sanguigni and Zanobi collaborated on several projects. The artists remained close, and in 1432 Sanguigni helped pay Maddalena’s dowry when she entered the Augustinian convent of San Gaggio. In total, the duo lived together for between eight and eleven years. Zanobi provided his tutor with financial support for another fourteen years. He also provided provisions and wine, and he even deeded the Strozzi property in Palaiuola to Sanguigni in 1446 when Zanobi moved back to Florence with his wife Nanna di Francesco Strozzi. Sanguigni continued to live in Palaiuola until his death in 1451 when the property reverted back to Zanobi’s brother, Francesco Strozzi. 

Due to their close working relationship, Sanguigni and Zanobi have rather similar styles. In Fiesole, the duo connected with Fra Angelico, whom they met at San Domenico, where Fra Angelico was working at the time. In Lives, Vasari included Zanobi in the friar’s biography, claiming that Zanobi was a fervent follower.

Interestingly, due to the regulations of the Florentine guilds, an aristocrat could neither rule the city nor take an active part in politics. Consequently, Zanobi never registered with the Arte dei Medici e Speziali in Florence and was therefore unable to secure commissions under his own name; the majority of his works are collaborations.

When Zanobi arrived in Florence, he may have been a tenant in Pesellino’s workshop, as there are no documents that prove he purchased his own studio until several years later. Another possibility is that he entered some type of formal partnership with Pesellino (c.1422 - 1457). They worked on an altarpiece together, and the main panel is The Assumption of the Virgin located in the National Gallery of Art in Dublin. Scholars have proposed different ideas regarding how much each artist participated in this work. They also worked on an illumination of the Bellum Poenicum from 1446 to 1449.

Between 1446 and 1454, Zanobi collaborated with Filippo di Matteo Torelli on Cosimo de’ Medici’s commission for choir books for the church of San Marco. Fra Angelico reviewed the miniatures according to a document dated 2 May 1449. In 1460, shortly after finishing the choir books, the Medici also ordered an altarpiece for the church of San Girolamo in Fiesole, which was in proximity to their new Villa Medici. In 1463, he began another large commission to illuminate choir books for the Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore. For this project, he collaborated with Francesco di Antonio del Chierico. It took eleven years to finish these works, even with the help of an entire workshop. In fact, the workshop incorporated several notable Florentine artists, including Cosimo Rosselli and Domenico Ghirlandaio.

While he worked primarily as an illuminator, he left behind several paintings. Zanobi’s only signed work is an Annunciation (c. 1440-1445) for the church of San Miniato al Monte, now housed in the National Gallery, London. The Lanfredini family commissioned this work for their private chapel in San Miniato al Monte. Zanobi depicted a traditional scene with the Virgin seated in prayer and the angel Gabriel announcing that she will bear the Son of God. Above Gabriel he placed a dove to represent the Holy Spirit, and he incorporated the lily as an emblem of the Virgin’s purity and grace. He also included the Lanfredini family arms on the capitals of the columns in the painting, and he concealed his signature, “ZANOBI,” on the border of the Virgin's blue robe.

The Philadelphia Museum of Art also holds an Annunciation in its collection, which demonstrates Fra Angelico’s influence on Zanobi's iconographic choices. His decision to portray the angel Gabriel flying in on clouds is unconventional, yet while working in Fiesole, he may have seen Fra Angelico’s 1425 missal depicting Gabriel in the same manner. Additionally, in 1434, Fra Angelico depicted Gabriel in pink robes in an Annunciation for the convent of Santa Maria Novella. In this work, Gabriel's garb is a similar distinctive pink ensemble adorned with gold embroidery. The painting supports Vasari’s statement that Zanobi worked with Fra Angelico and had an impact on Zanobi’s paintings.

The artist died in his native Florence on 6 December 1468 and is buried in Santa Maria Novella. Zanobi is most remembered for his miniatures in illuminated manuscripts and is considered by some as one of the minor masters of his generation.

Emma Ruth Rundle & Jaye Jayle ‘The Time Between Us’ streaming in full at Tiny Mix Tapes

This Friday, February 24, the WORLD AS WE KNOW IT will be IRREVOCABLY ALTERED. I know: that sounds a little dramatic… but hell, so do both this news story’s formidable, Sargent House-affiliated protagonists, Emma Ruth Rundle and Jaye Jayle.

Given that you’re such a cool person, general fan of mold-shattering independent music, and fanatical follower of TMT, you probably remember near the end of last year when we told you that Jayle and Rundle would soon be teaming up for a new six-song split EP, titled The Time Between Us, featuring three brand new tracks from each artist.

And, well, guest what? Yup, this coming Friday totally marks the release date for that very special EP. Think of it, readers: all of Rundle’s “lonely tones,” “dusty landscapes,” “swells of reverb,” and “sparkles of lyrical intensity” finally united with Jayle’s bizarre cross-mutations of outerspace-oriented Krautrock and grave-digger country-blues.

Gee, sounds utterly amazing, no? Toooooo baaaaad that Friday is still an excruciating three days wait from now, isn’t it? Oh well, though. Nothing can be done about that… OH WAIT, FUCK THAT: Pre-order your own highly durable and/or extremely portable copy of The Time Between Us now on your choice of gritty vinyl, shiny CD, or iTunes-y digital. And, just for being such a cool person, general fan of mold-shattering independent music, and fanatical follower of TMT, I’m happy to announce that, as of right now, you can stream the entire EP till your heart’s content via the player down below while you wait for it to show up at your door/download queue! (Also, to help you get even more of your Jayle/Rundle fix, keep a-scrollin’ on down after the tracklisting to peep the plethora of tour dates that one or both of these spooky songsmiths has coming up on his/her spring agenda.) See, what’d I tell you? Consider all your shit: IRREVOCABLY ALTERED.

EMMA RUTH RUNDLE & JAYE JAYLE ANNOUNCE THE TIME BETWEEN US

6-song split EP out February 24th on Sargent House, Listen to Emma Ruth Rundle’s “The Distance” now

Sargent House alum Emma Ruth Rundle (Red Sparowes, Marriages) and the label’s newest addition, Louisville’s Jaye Jayle (featuring Evan Patterson of Young Widows) are thrilled to announce a new split EP titled The Time Between Us. The album boasts three previously unreleased tracks from each artist and will be available February 24th, 2017. Today, Emma Ruth Rundle has premiered her single “The Distance” - listen now via CLRVYNT (or directly on Soundcloud / YouTube).

On the heels of her recently released and widely recognized third album, Marked for Death, Emma Ruth Rundle contributes a follow-up dose of brooding, melancholic rock draped in shimmering guitar and the breathy familiarity of her unmistakable voice to The Time Between Us. In addition to two never-before-heard tracks (“The Distance” and “To Fold In England [Hours]”), Rundle closes her side of the split with the original acoustic version of “Hand of God”, a standout track from Marked for Death.  

Side B of The Time Between Us features three new songs from Louisville, KY’s Jaye Jayle (Evan Patterson of Young Widows). The band possesses a distinct Southern filter, though Jaye Jayle’s stripped-back noir in fact owes more to Krautrock than the blues, and arrives at a sound wholly unusual in the American underground. The Time Between Us follows Jay Jayle’s debut House Cricks and Other Excuses to Get Out (October 2016) and his three songs continue to be an exercise in tension and restraint, a tightrope act between singer-songwriter traditions and art rock experimentation, and an intersection of Southern cultural permutations and otherworldly sounds.

Both Emma Ruth Rundle and Jaye Jayle will tour extensively throughout Spring of 2017 in support of The Time Between Us; Rundle is set to support Deafheaven and This Will Destroy You in February and March, while Jaye Jayle will be out with Oathbreaker in March and April. Shortly after, Emma Ruth Rundle and Jaye Jayle will team up for a European tour together slotted around Roadburn Festival in The Netherlands. Check out a complete list of all tour dates below and look for Jay Jayle’s single to premiere soon (pre-order the EP here).

Going Underground? Earth-Sheltered Home Is Most Popular of the Week

realtor.com

If natural light isn’t high on your wish list for your next home, we have a prime opportunity for you. This week’s most popular home on realtor.com® is an earth-sheltered structure in the Midwest.

For those unfamiliar with earth-sheltered homes, they’re built into a berm with dirt and sod serving as a roof. And for those who do need to see the sun, a little light does peek through the front of this affordable specimen in Indiana.

It’s a great deal for heating and cooling your home—but it can feel a bit like living underground. Priced at only $160,000 and coming with nearly 4 acres of land, it might be worth finding out just how important the elements are to your overall well-being.

You also clicked on a midcentury classic in the unlikely locale of Knoxville, TN, a cool old farm near Columbus, OH, and three very different homes in Illinois.

So grab a shovel and dig in to the full list of our most popular properties of the week.

10. Casanova # 19, Carmel, CA

Price: $1,200,000 Why it’s here: In picturesque (and pricey) Carmel, it’s a chance to buy one of the cheaper pieces of property in town. There are three adjacent lots for sale, and listing agent Ben Heinrich believes a buyer will likely combine a couple of lots to build a new home. Either way, the tiny cabin currently on this piece of property must stay—Heinrich says it’s deemed historic by the city.

9. 1104 E Jefferson St, Bloomington, IL

Price: $279,900 Why it’s here: This historic mansion is huge. And at only $46 a square foot, it’s a steal, too. Known as the Wilcox-Henderson Home, the mansion built in 1884 remains “99 percent original,” according to the listing. The stained glass, tile work, and crown moldings evoke another era—this place is truly a bargain for the ages.

Bloomington, IL

8. 6501 S County Line Rd, Burr Ridge, IL

Price: $10,950,000 Why it’s here: Known as Villa Taj, this mansion has been making headlines for nearly a decade. Initially listed for $25 million in 2009, the estate soon fell into foreclosure. Then a burst pipe in 2012 flooded the place with 6 million gallons (!) of water. It was eventually purchased by a developer for the low, low price of $3.1 million. Buffed, repaired, and back on the market, it’s looking for a buyer who needs 30,000 square feet of living space and a 22-car garage.

7. 116 W Beverly Ct, Peoria, IL

Price: $140,000 Why it’s here: The curb appeal of this charming four-bedroom home is readily apparent. Built in 1930, the beautiful brick home has original hardwood and three levels of living space. With over 3,500 square feet to offer, it’s an amazing $39 per square foot.

Peoria, IL

6. 324 Radcliffe St, Bristol, PA

Price: $695,000 Why it’s here: The back patio alone should be enough for most buyers. Set along the Delaware River, the backyard oasis lures buyers into this classic home, according to listing agent Hellen Cannon. She says folks who’ve walked through the classic Queen Anne home are “amazed with the authenticity, the taste level, and the fact that it’s right on the river.”

Bristol, PA

5. 6475 Lilly Chapel Georgesville Rd, London, OH

Price: $250,000 Why it’s here: Rustic is in right now! Listing agent Karen Evans credits the “Fixer Upper” effect for the popularity of this old barn and farmhouse set on over 5 acres of land.

The “millennial generation is interested in going back to the land,” she says, adding that prospective buyers swarmed this house only 20 minutes outside Columbus.

Evans says they received multiple offers on the farmhouse and accepted the one from a buyer “who wants to take the farm back to its original roots.”

London, OH

4. 4590 East Pike, Zanesville, OH

Price: $179,500 Why it’s here: Set on more than an acre of land, this adorable three-bedroom home has been newly updated. We’re most intrigued by the basement, where a man cave (complete with wet bar) beckons.

Zanesville, OH

3. 123 Spring Creek St, Lacy Lakeview, TX

Price: $1,200,000 Why it’s here: It’s the “Fixer Upper” “barndominium.” Sliding two spots this week, the home made famous on Season 3 of the popular HGTV show is still attracting an outsize amount of interest.

2. 1536 Lyons Bend Rd, Knoxville, TN

Price: $950,000 Why it’s here: According to listing agent Shannon Foster-Boline, this Mid-Century Modern “is in the heart of Knoxville, but you feel like you’re in the middle of nowhere.”

She says the home’s peaceful, tranquil feel is a result of intentional design choices made by architect Bruce McCarty. Built in 1959, this three-bedroom stunner was McCarty’s personal residence and has never been on the market. Set along the waters of the Tennessee River and featuring floor-to-ceiling glass, gorgeous wood cabinetry, and an ideal indoor-outdoor flow, it’s a true Mid-Century Modern gem in the Volunteer State.

Knoxville, TN

1. 3930 W 700 N, Huntington, IN

Price: $160,000 Why it’s here: Listing agent Kyle Ness credits his home inspector for this home’s popularity. He says the inspector shared photos and a link of this earth-sheltered home on his Facebook page, and then the house went “pseudo-viral.” The place has bounced on and off the market for a year, but Ness isn’t daunted by the difficultly of finding a buyer who doesn’t mind living underground.

Ness says he’s had plenty of experience with homes other agents haven’t been able to sell, adding that he’ll bring that expertise to this atypical house. He says the nearly 4 acres of land around the home are a boon. For a buyer looking for something different, this is the place, he says. “It’ll be the easy way or the hard way—it’ll sell one way or the other.”
