Didn't seem like a huge ceremony on Friday, January 29, but some familiar names in attendance ...

The unveiling of the Walk's 2,400th landmark — which sits at the base of the famed Capitol Records tower on Vine Street, alongside stars of John Lennon and George Harrison — was attended by a gang of Orbison’s friends, family and fellow musicians. In the crowd were actor Dan Aykroyd, Eagles guitarist Joe Walsh, fellow Traveling Wilbury Jeff Lynne, folk-rock legend Phil Everly, comedian Eric Idle of Monty Python, Olivia Harrison, singer-guitarist Dwight Yoakam, Wilburys drummer Jim Keltner, singer-songwriters Chris Isaak and Jason Mraz, and even filmmaker David Lynch, who famously used Orbison’s In Dreams in his film Blue Velvet. But the guests of honour on this day were Orbison’s widow Barbara and his three sons Wesley, Roy Jr. and Alex.

This next pic is Dan and Roy Jr.



Here's some video from the ceremony ...

By coincidence, there is currently an auction for an Aykroyd signed guitar that has another photo from this event.

Cool stuff, TK!

Although I think this seller is a bit of a scumbag lol. He asked Dan to sign a sticker, for the faceplate on a guitar? Then puts the sticker on the guitar and puts the guitar on eBay for $300 ... cripes. What is this guitar worth?




Is it a WalMart guitar?? haha I dunno. Maybe it's worth three beans, I just don't know.

D'oh ... smaller pic than I thought, but you can see it's from the Sunset Strip.
