yeah, i seen the hat too while checking on my items in the same auction (trick, kiss and aerosmith in case anyone's interested) it ends sometime today, so it would be interesting to see if it sells.

a few bonham items have been resold recently, maybe more items will come out of the woodwork too.

Here is a real cool one. This is the session in 1978 with Paul McCartney for his record "Back to the Egg" - Bonzo played drums on two songs. To Bonzo's left are two other drummers. There were many famous people at this recording session as well.

I always would set my "suicide throne" in reverse to Bonham... So when the legs do collapse you would fall forward and not disappear backwards off of the riser..

Cheers
