[Trombone-l] JJ on Ebay

[Daryl Burch]

Adrian, that's $10 for the mouthpiece... $800 for the spit!!

Someone posted the question to Mrs. JJ r.e. why she was selling his 
stuff. Below is her reply:

Q:
Hi  May I ask why are you selling these things? This is history and 
should be treasured. I do not want to offend but JJ Johnson is/was a 
trombone god. I just hope that the people buying this understand that. 
Good luck and god bless.

Hello rcv1963, Before JJ passed away 6 years ago he donated items to 
organizations. The Simthsonian and more. I have many people thanking me 
for giving them the opportunity to have something that belonged to JJ 
and not putting them in a yard sale or throwing them away. I wanted to 
share them with JJ's fans it would be a waste for me to hold on them 
just sitting in boxes. I rather see someone making beautiful music and 
keep his memeories alive. I do not need mutes or mouth pieces, to 
treasure the love I have for JJ. He was a celebrity to many and a 
wonderful husband to me. To show my appreciation for the love that JJ's 
fans has for him this is what I choose to do. I hope this answer your 
question.  Thank you Carolyn Johnson  Happy holidays  God Bless

Cheers!

Well, 10 bucks for the mouthpiece, $500 for the spit he left on it.
