"Johnny's Mic... Not Ed's... Not Fred's" to quote from the white engraved inscription clearly visible on the collar of this Shure SM33 microphone. That white engraving distinguishes this piece as Johnny's Tonight Show microphone, as can be clearly seen in the many photos of the mic sitting on Johnny's desk. As Tonight Show sound man Stan Sweeney writes in his COA, "This is the one and only microphone that is inscribed 'Johnny's mic . . ' and this one with the distinct etching was used on a daily basis." To our knowledge, this is the only Shure SM 33 that Johnny ever used on The Tonight Show. That says it all!

If only this mic could talk. Through the administrations of seven U.S. presidents, Johnny Carson was the undisputed king of late night television with The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson. We all remember him sitting at his desk nervously playing with his pencils, adjusting this very microphone, swapping jokes and stories with guests that included legends in all fields of endeavor of the late 20th century.

The story of how this microphone was "rescued" is told by the current owner: "Almost twenty years ago in the mid 80s, my position as a crew member of The Tonight Show gave me the opportunity to literally rescue this microphone. During one of our technical upgrades at NBC, a large amount of equipment was being discarded along with this microphone. It was not uncommon for the studios at the time to just get rid of antiquated equipment. All of production audio was being replaced. I realized the mic should be saved, and its been in my safekeeping ever since. As we all know, Johnny Carson was the King of late night TV for thirty years and this microphone, with the inscription, Johnny's Mic... Not Ed's... Not Fred's (Ed McMahon, Announcer; Fred DeCordova, Producer) was used on his desk from the late 1960s throughout the 1970s."

Technically, this microphone is (to quote from Shure's spec sheet

John Lennon Drawing and Lyrics to Unpublished Song The Beatles (and their wives) spent about two months in Rishikesh, India between February and April of 1968 to study under the tutelage of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. While there, they spent at least part of their time writing songs for their upcoming album which was to be called "The Beatles" (the "White Album"). One of the songs John wrote during that period was called Subtle Woffell and was never recorded or published. Offered here is an original John Lennon drawing of "Subtle Woffell" himself sitting under a tree with the first verse of the lyrics written below: "beneath the deep Ambrosia tree the Subtle Woffell lies. and he will sing to comfort thee under the purple skies." John has also written "happy birthday Colin with love from John: some time in March- Rishikesh. 1968." An incredible item- original Lennon artwork, handwritten lyrics, and a signature ("John"). In ink on light brown paper, 11.5" x 9" in size, fine condition with a small tear at the top edge affecting nothing. Truly museum quality.

1960 George Harrison Letter From Hamburg- Incredible Content This three page letter on lined paper is not dated but almost certainly written in September and October of 1960 at Hamburg, Germany. It is a funny, newsy letter from George to Arthur Kelly, his best buddy back in Liverpool, written using many interesting Scouse and slang terms. Arthur, by the way, holds a very important place in George's musical career. Harrison's mother bought George his first guitar when he was 13 which he taught himself to play. He formed, with his brother Pete and friend Arthur Kelly, his first band- a short-lived skiffle group called "The Rebels." The content of this letter is an absolute goldmine for the Beatle historian. For some background, the Beatles went to Hamburg on August 16, 1960 to play the Indra Club, a dive frequented by rowdy drunks. The Indra was not quite on the main Hamburg "drag" and they moved to the bigger and nicer Kaiserkeller Club down the street in early October. This important letter was written during this formative period in the Beatle's career.

The letter starts out (in ink): "Dear Archibald Lad, How are ye? I am playing many a rolling rock in Germanyingdaleboroughland, and have much gold. John-Paul+Stuart Deane (possibly a reference to Stuart Stucliffe's tendency to dress like James Dean?) are also having a luvly time too. We have Pete Best Mrs. Bests little lad with us from Kasbah fame and he is drumming good. His dad is a boxer in the Stadium." Pete Best had just joined the group. His mom owned the Casbah Club in Liverpool where the Beatles had visited. The letter goes on: "I can speak gut Germen now and we are staying here until Christ. and then we are going with a man to Berlin." George then inquires about Arthur's family and mentions that his mum is going to Canada to visit his sister (Louise). "We are earning 18 pounds a week now and after Chrimbo when we go to Berlin we will earn 60 marks a night [30 pounds a week]." In the next paragraph, George talks about T

Legendary Jazz Singer Billie Holiday Signed Photo (1915-1959) Billie Holiday changed the art of American pop vocals forever. She was the first popular jazz singer to integrate the intense, personal feelings of classic blues into her performances, moving her audiences like no one else, before or since. She lived her music. Holiday's career got its start in New York clubs in the early 1930s. In 1933, producer John Hammond introduced her to Benny Goodman which led to her first recording session. She was soon a star. Her tumultuous personal life- a series of abusive relationships, substance addictions and periods of depression eventually affected both her voice and her health. She collapsed in May, 1959 from heart and liver disease, exacerbated by her heroin habit, and died in July of that year. Thankfully, she left us a rich and extensive library of recordings that will be enjoyed for many generations to come. Offered here is an awesome 8" x10" B&W promotional photo of this master jazz performer. It is from Associated Booking Corporation of which Joe Glaser, her long-time manager, was president. Signed using blue ballpoint with good contrast "For Wally, Stay Happy Always, Billie Holiday", this photo is handsomely matted and framed to an overall size of 15" x 17". Extremely rare and desirable in this format. With COA from noted Jazz expert Larry Rafferty.

Rolling Stones "Some Girls" Display. During the mid-'70s, the Rolling Stones remained massively popular, but their records suffered from Mick Jagger's fascination with celebrity and Keith Richard's worsening drug habit. By 1978, both punk and disco had pushed the group into the background, and "Some Girls" was their fiery response to the younger generation. Featured here is a promotional stand-up designed to promote the album. It features the redone album cover, as the original was immediately altered after the album's release due to the use of unlicensed images of certain celebrities on the cover. This was the largest stand-up printed to promote the release of the album, and it was never commercially available, having only been intended for display in major chain stores. Overall condition is Very Good with two minor dings on the edge of the album portion, two small creases in the hair flip, two minor creases on the fold, a 1" tear on the bottom right corner, and some writing on the back in black marker.
