Delaney's home, an old ranch house about 100 years old on acreage
up Sunland Blvd. out of the San Fernando Valley (nearest to the
towns of Burbank and North Hollywood) toward Big Tujunga Canyon
and the Angeles Crest Forest, Mount Wilson, Kratka Ridge, Buckhorn,
Wrightwood and tehn down into the Antelope Valley desert towns.

A great area where Daltrey used to hang in the 70s when you'd catch
him being driven in an emerald green Caddy lomo with the lic plate that
read; THA WHO.

Roger Miller and Craig Fall, both friends of Delaney and Cole, Billy 
Burnette
(who went on to join Fleetwood Mac for a spell) all used to live up that 
way.
Leon Russell and his wife Mary and their baby wer familiar faces, Gary Busey
just around the time of his Buddy Holly role, Glen Campbell, lots of folks
were part of that countryish rock 'n' roll scene at Delaney's ranch.
