Ronnie Hawkins and The Hawks (The Band)

Hey guys,

I recently bought this and was wondering what the experts think. I didn’t pay much for it, but I’m a big band fan.

And maybe the guy in blue signed at a later date?

Thanks Jason! I also posted it on Robbie Roberston’s Facebook page and he gave it a thumbs up!

The problem is that most artists are not good at authenticating sigs. Unless they can actually remember signing a piece, they are not a good source to turn too.

You have a point yet I could tell if I signed my Sig or if someone else did...

I haven't studied their signatures, but they don't look particularly natural to me, and the Hawkins and Robertson signatures appear to share similar characteristics. A number of other items from this seller have also sold for cheap prices. Did Danko write "Band" and then change it to "Bass"? In 1962?
