When you think of bluegrass music, you probably imagine guys with long beards in coveralls playing twanging guitars and banjos, a fiddle and upright bass.

Wall Street Journal alert. In today's Mansion section, I interview light sculptor Bill FitzGibbons on Casa Spectrum, the installation that illuminates the front facade of his house in San Antonio, Texas. Go here or please buy the paper. More on Bill here. [Pictured above: Bill's LightRails installation]
