Add some trees in front of the house in Edward Hopper's Lighthouse Hill, take away the lighthouse, and you have the Bates family's haunted home in Psycho...

Tijuana Sessions is selling well, and he has lucrative gigs scheduled this summer in Los Angeles, London and Barcelona. His home, in Tijuana's Las Playas neighborhood, has an ocean view, cathedral ceilings and a custom-built studio, where he shows a visitor his collection of 40 keyboards.
