    Dan Aykroyd collection of 31 clippings from 1987-1989, plus an in-person signed House of Blues poster.  The House of Blues poster is titled “Blues Gods," size 16” x 28”, several folds with original envelope to hold it, signed in the center of the poster in blue ink pen “To the Johnsons, Rock On!, Dan Aykroyd, Elwood”, obtained in-person at the House of Blues restaurant off Hollywood Blvd. in Hollywood, California, in the early 1990s; excellent condition except for the folds, but that’s the way it was selling at House of Blues.  The clippings were all done by me over the years.  This vintage collection includes:
