Wow, you need to watch this amazing video from The Piano Guys filmed just outside of St. George, Utah.  Not only is the music spectacular, unique, and inspirational, the scenery is just as amazing.

The video was filmed just south of Washington City and Sand Hollow Resort and just north-west of the new St. George Airport.  The location is called Sand Mountain.  The view is of beautiful red ridges and red sand a la Snow Canyon State Park which is one of the many reasons the St. George area is so naturally beautiful.

The video is a cover of the Coldplay song Paradise. But, I believe the Piano Guys way outdid Coldplay and Coldplay may be doing covers for them in the future.  The Piano Guys did an African spin on the song and call it Peponi -  Swahili for paradise.

The Piano Guys are Jon Schmidt (piano), and Steve Sharp Nelson (cello), Paul Anderson (guy who put it all together), and Al Van Der Beek (composer).

Las Palmas condo 1209 adjacent to the Green Valley Resort just listed.  The reason for this post is that this price is a great value.  Rarely to I blog about listings but this is a great deal.

Las Palmas 1209

The condo is in good condition.  There are no issues with electrical, plumbing or the structure as far as I know.  The previous owner who lost it to the bank did remove the washer and dryer, however.  The cabinets have been refinished and they look brand new.

See here for estimates on information on property management and up to date estimates of income generated through the rental pool.
