Bill Clinton’s saxophone, other legend souvenirs in 'A Century of Music' up for auction



Souvenirs from emblematic 20th-century musical events and acts such as the Woodstock Festival, the Beatles, Van Halen, and Lynyrd Skynyrd are up for grabs in an online auction next week.

Surprising items include former U.S. President Bill Clinton’s saxophone, and the doors from New York’s Hotel Chelsea where Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, and Jerry Garcia once lived, Reuters report.

Also featured are Benny Goodman’s clarinet, and a guitar used by the late Eddie Van Halen who gave his rock band its name and sound.

“This was a handmade original and so it certainly should bring a six-figure amount, one would think,” said Arlan Ettinger, president of Guernsey’s Auction.

Original photos and slides of the 1969 Woodstock concert taken onstage by the official photographer Barry Levine are up for sale, along with the Leica still camera he used to record the event.

Proceeds from guitars once owned by Jason Becker will go toward the medical costs of the musician’s battle with ALS.

The ‘A Century of Music’ auction takes place online July 14-15.
