Description

Rare signed American Folk Blues Festival programs, including Muddy Waters, Sonny Boy Williamson, and Big Joe Williams

Collection of four 1960s programs for the American Folk Blues Festival tours of Europe, each signed inside by at least one of the performers, including: a 1963 program signed by Muddy Waters, Sonny Boy Williamson, Lonnie Johnson, and Willie Dixon; a 1965 program signed by J. B. Lenoir; a 1968 program signed by Big Joe Williams (with his rare “Joe” signature) and T-Bone Walker; and a 1969 program signed by Earl Hooker. In overall fine condition. Of special note in this lot is the large Big Joe Williams signature: Williams signed very rarely due to his illiteracy, and when he did it was usually with the letter X, making this version of his signature especially desirable. Pre-certified REAL.
