Carlos Santana
(1947 -)
Mexican/ American musician
On his property is a virtual museum for his musical history and tastes, not a shrine to his profound religious faith but to his muse. He has meticulously saved thousands of hours of music and video.
There are countless photographs and pieces of artwork depicting his musical heros. The audio and video collection documents almost every show he's ever done. The attic is full of one-of-kind T-shirts by his favorite Bay artists.
Santana built this place in 1983, about when he began smoking marijuana after 10 years of abstinence. In 1991 he was arrested for misdemeanor possession, and his wife Deborah insisted that he give it up for good.
The Legendary Grammy award winning guitar player was busted at Houston Airport in 1991 for transporting five grams of marijuana from Mexico.
Carlos Santana played at the Woodstock festival in 1969
