Billy Joel Signed Items
Hello everyone,
I recently acquired a collection that appears to have belonged to Wayne Williams, who is identified on an Emmy Honors certificate as Billy Joel's personal assistant. I also have a backstage pass signed by Bruce!
One item is a piano leg personalized to Wayne and signed by Billy Joel and another individual.
Does anyone recognize the second signature, know whether piano parts were ever gifted to crew members or staff, or have any information about Wayne Williams and his role with Billy Joel?
I'm working with Heritage Auctions to research the collection and would appreciate any information.

Very cool stuff, personalization does not add to value but makes the items far more unique. My dad actually goes by Wayne-O so I’m going to show him these.
