The museum has a bathroom with a washbasin and other toilet innovations.

Keyboardist David Paich, drummer Jeff Porcaro, and guitarists Mike Porcaro and Steve Lukather all performed on the album Silk Degrees by Boz Scaggs. They also performed on albums by Steely Dan, Seals and Crofts, and Sonny and Cher.

David Paich's work was more refined, sharper and less cloned previously recorded recordings.
