Collectibles signed by musicians. What do you have?

I have quite a few things, including lps and cds signed by Patti Smith, Jorma Kaukonen, Peter Buck (REM), Glenn Tilbrook and Chris Difford (Squeeze), Graham Parker, Steve Forbert, Willie Nile, Garland Jeffries, Richard Thompson, The Jayhawks, Loudon Wainwright III, John Hiatt, Southside Johnny,  Suzanne Vega, The Roches, Patricia Barber, Toshiko Akiyoshi, John and Bucky Pizzarelli, etc., all seen in concert.  I also had Richie Havens sign a print of himself at Woodstock, a poster signed by Neil Young (from when he intoduced Pono), and a teashirt signed by Bruce Springsteen (from a friend who met him at Jack's Music Shop in Red Bank, NJ.

That’s fantastic! You guys have some cool stuff!

Over the years, I’ve acquired a few artist signed things, mostly from being at their show and seeing or meeting them afterwards. 
A signed CD from Mark Wood, CD signed by Amy Helm, a couple of albums signed by Beth Hart, a ticket stub signed by Elton John, a drum stick signed by John Mahon (Elton John Band) that he threw to me, Big, Beautiful Book of Bass book signed by Geddy Lee when I met him, a ticket stub signed by all 4 members of Lake Street Dive, a signed tour poster from the Tedeschi Trucks Band, a photo signed by photographer Lynn Goldsmith (Feet of The Beatles), Pete Best’s signature in a book “Beatles Gear” also signed by author and Chesterfield King member Andy Babiuk, a couple of photographs signed by photographer Baron Wolman when I met him at the site of the original Woodstock concert, and, I don’t know if this counts, but I bought an album from Tim LeFebvre (Who’s Hat is This?) that he was supposed to sign, but forgot. But, I’ve got the mailer he sent it to me in that he had wrote the address!
 

Lots of stuff! A photo of myself with Mason Williams, the Classical Gas man himself in his hotel room in Valley Forge. I shared a joint with him as well. I've been on his family and friends list for years. Lots of live shows.

  I like Basia. My favorite LP is "The Sweetest Illusion". The album cover is great. In 1994 I asked my then brother in law (in Poland) to look for any Basia posters. My wife brought home a concert poster with the album cover as the picture. It was never printed elsewhere to my knowledge. I framed it.

A customer of mine was the manager of people like Don McLean and Janis Ian as well as other groups. I became his "go to" guy for help around his house. He had to move around 1999. He called me to help him. He had no place to go with all the open reel tapes. They've been with me ever since! I've been archiving them as I get time.

I was on an invite in 2000 to a local dive. A guy named Clay Eals was writing a biography on Steve Goodman. I asked him if anyone was sending him tapes or music. He said "yes, but I don't have a means of playing them." Well, you know what I said?  "Send them to me, I'll transfer everything to CDR". Tapes and records were coming from three different continents! When the book was completed (over 750 pages) I was on the phone with Clay. I said to him, "Wouldn't it be nice if the publisher would let you include a CD with the book?" Clay called me back the next day and said "it was a go. Could I do the CD?"  I said yes. It was a lot of work but my name is on the CD in the book wherever it is sold. (Facing the Music)

I was on the board of directors of our local coffeehouse for a couple of years. I was the archivist. Too many tapes in my collection to list. It's been a great ride!

Wow.  Great stories! Thanks, everyone. 

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.
