Collectibles signed by musicians. What do you have?


After getting a new equipment rack, I needed to change the wall decor.  I found a good spot to hang a guitar on the wall.  

This guitar was signed by the original members of Collective Soul in 1995.  It's been verified by the band.  I had posted a photo as a comment on their Facebook page. Both Ed and Dean Roland liked the post. I thought that was pretty cool. 

I found the guitar at a Guitar Center in Las Vegas.  It's a decent Mexican Telecaster.  It's not something that they sold to the public.  Probably given as a prize, etc. 

I don't have much else.  A Triumph album signed by Rik Emmett. 

I bet some of you people have some cool signed items and stories to go with it.  I would be interested in hearing about it if you care to share.

I have a copy of Sarah McLachlan's first album,"Touch", that she gifted me in 1988 when she was just 20 years old, along with a copy of "Blue" that Joni Mitchell autographed for me. Throw in autographs from Buddy Rich, Woody Herman and Billy Cobham and that's about it, except for one more item which I can't talk about, so don't ask.

 

In the early 90's the band Spirit played at Music Revolution, the Tampa record store i was a part-owner of...and Jay Ferguson played my Guild D-25. Got all their signatures (not on the guitar); RIP Randy California!

Los Lobos, Indigo Girls , Bruce Cockburn (gifted him a pack of Zig-Zags), backstage Indigo Girls signed pass.

I've never really pursued that kind of memorabilia.

Oh yeah, Marky Mark (nursing a major Miami hangover) signed autographs for his fans and his bodyguards made us keep people out of the store the whole time he was signing, so dreams of big sales went up in smoke on that one...and he charged a grand for the privilege!

It did seem like Dick lingered a little long holding the back of her thigh when he signed above the (short) hem of her dress.  In hindsight, I'm A-OK with it...
