They are bright pink pants that he wore on stage, they come from his father. We also have a Jimmy Hendrix guitar that comes from Mitch Mitchell who was the bassist for Jimmy Hendrix and it comes with a letter from Mitch. We estimated it at 60 to 80 thousand but anticipate that it will sell between between 1 and 2 hundred thousand. Gene Simmons donated one of his customised basses to the cause, we have a pair of John Lennon sunglasses. One of the interesting things for people to see is a love letter that Janice Joplin wrote in 1965 to her then boyfriend Peter LeBlanc and it's a hand written seven page letter. So it's very interesting to read the details of that letter." 13. Medium of John Lennon's sun glasses 14. Medium of love letter written by Janice Joplin 15. Medium of Bob Dylan harmonica 16.

A signed Paul McCartney guitar, we sold all the way up to 20 to 25 thousand so this is something that he annotated.
