Sound loss/ windows?

I'm building a listening room and trying to balance accoustic properties, sound isolation and ambience. I would like to have three 5'x3'windows but am worried about the sound transimission through the windows bugging the neighbors. My room is 26 x 15 over a garage. The nearest neighbor is a good 75 feet away, but I do like to crank it up, and sometimes jam along with my guitar, well over 100db.
I thought about adding heavy drapes for those "loud" moments. Anybody know how that much window space might affect both internal accoustics and sound transmission?
Thanks

Thanks guys,
I've been worrying about this for quite awhile, whew.
Richard, I origninally thought about putting my speakers on the short wall (15), but that does seem to take up a lot of space, I will probably try both ways for the fun of it.
But having a good 22' run should really give the bass a chance to "stretch out". Just have to try both though.
