I got plenty of these.... In the swing department there's-
Man From Mars (Artie Shaw)
It Happened In Sun Valley (Glenn Miller... and I can't resist singing along either)
Harlem Camp Meeting (Cab Calloway)
Bye Bye Blues (Cab Calloway)
Night Ride (Ambrose)
Main Stem (Duke Ellington)...
Personally, I don't own any autographs, but I've seen a few interesting items on the ole web (*cough*ebay*cough*):
I saved this pic ages ago and I still remember the story. Supposedly, the seller's father was a stagehand at a Glenn Miller gig, and he wanted an autograph. Only paper he had...
The horror.... the horror!
That tie dress is a nightmare.... better hope those were frayed and torn beyond repair!
This reminds me of a time when some fellas at school were asked to build models of a new and "innovative" business establishment. There was this twerp who built a 50's themed...

to play as we go
We sing and we samba
we shout ay caramba!
What means ay caramba?
Oh yes, I don't know.
My vehicles....
1935 Ford Coupe (wrecked)
Plymouth Prowler of indefinite age (wrecked)
1996 Mustang (wrecked)
1941 Ford woody (gathering dust).
All of them in 1/24 scale....
Speaking of car ownership, take a look at this old fella. I'd sure like to be like him when I hit 84!
That sure beats the one I made by simply writing "PRESS" on an index card with a sharpie!
Say, can you tell us the size of that card? I think I might want to re-draw the one Starius linked to.
Where to begin....
Off the top of my head....
Norman Rockwell
Salvador Dali
Alberto Vargas
John Held Jr.
Miguel Covarrubias
J.C. Leyendecker
Jacques Kapralik
Boris Artzybasheff
and Arthur Radebaugh
Honourable mention goes to master forger Han...
