    This is wonderful ! Thank you for caring enough to restore his home. I saw him quite a bit in palm springs my father owned a restaurant and he would come in and sit at the counter late at night. He was always kind and gracious.

    We live an hour south of Vegas and have passed by this house many times when we've been in the city. It's right off the strip on Tropicana. So happy someone bought and restored it, it was so run down and overgrown for the longest time!

    I used to hear Liberace on the radio when I was young. It sounded fantastic, that's why I became his fan. Now he plays beside the angels, but his legacy of art is still alive. Thank you man for all the joy you gave us. Regards from Brazil.

    thats wonderful.... we need to keep this kind of history alive

  • @leokimvideo
    @leokimvideo 9 ปีที่แล้ว +19

    Such a wonderful story, as a kid I watched Liberace on Oz TV and he was always a pleasure to watch. He was well ahead of his time in understanding his audience, something that so many don't understand these days

  • @DFelix-ir4qp
    @DFelix-ir4qp 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I’m SO glad that this home was purchased and restored. My grandparents loved Liberace, I remember watching him on TV and was always fascinated by his extravagant and beautiful piano playing skills. My 15-year-old son discovered him on TH-cam a couple of years ago and asked me to buy him a piano. All I could afford was a 88 keys digital/keyboard. He loves Beethoven, Mozart, Chopin & modern pianists as well. Lately he’s been interested in a Japanese composer of which I don’t remember his name. Last year my son was taking music appreciation class and the teacher would bring different musical instruments to class on a rotational basis. One day he brought in a keyboard and my son sat down and played for the class. Nobody knew his secret talent and he tells me the girls loved it! Now, he may not be a perfect pianist but he plays pretty damn good especially for being self taught. He practices hours on end. I’m thankful to Liberace for bringing my grandparents happiness and also now my son’s hobby, it brings me so much joy. I love to sit and just listen to him play. I know Liberace is up in heaven just having a grand time. He was a sweet, humble soul. He was brilliant. RIP Liberace!!

    Wow! I remember how it was going in decay and thinking what a terrible waste. I'm so glad to see it being cared for and restored. I don't think Liberace would have wanted it gone. Kudos to Martin and others helping to keep it alive and in his memory!!

You are treating this place just like Priscilla Presley did with Graceland. Beautiful job. Loved it. Would like to come for a tour of the house some day. Are you going to have it open for the public anytime soon?? Let me know. Thanks.

    Maybe show Liberace's place in Lake Tahoe. I remember driving by his piano shaped gate on Kingsbury grade.
    He was a jewel to us up here in the mountains.
    When he played the showroom at Caesars Tahoe, he would have an up and coming pianist play in the casino bar ( maybe for us poor folk who could not afford his A-list top dollar show)!!
    Love you Liberace!
    ! My Grandmother, way before it was appropriate, said that Liberace was the gay man all the old ladies wanted to have for a son/brother/husband!! She said Liberace put Grandpa Pete to shame.
    Liberace was a REAL man.
    Miss you Liberace.
