Who Knew Playing the Piano Could Make You So Much Money - Van Cliburn's House in Westover Hills, Fort Worth

Old money and big time Fort Worth businessmen and women reside in the prestigious city of Westover Hills in west Fort Worth.  From the prominent Bass family to the modern day Fort Worth executive, affluence is abundant in the Hills.  Van Cliburn is among one of Westover Hills' residents residing at 23 Westover Road, definitely an address to impress - Fort Worth style!  The sprawling estate boasts acres of perfectly trimmed and shaped bushes encompassed by colorful courtyards.  The 12,120 sq. foot mega comes with a detached 9 car garage and privacy beyond imagine.  Cliburn is an interesting resident; neither a big time oil mogul or business executive, good old Van make his dough playing the piano!  He is known around the world for his grand and expert piano playing.  Cliburn, a Baptist, sometimes stays up late into the wee morning hours practicing his piano skills.  Maybe I should start playing the piano...
