DANVERS, Mass. - BostonChron -- Two exceptionally rare items relating to the iconic actor Jack Nicholson, and another pertaining to George Walker, the first African American to win the Pulitzer Prize for Music, will headline JG.Limited's online-only History & Culture timed auction, online now at JG.Limited and closing Tuesday, April 25th.

The second item is a 1987 typed letter, signed by Ron Harry, the Boston Garden organist for the Boston Celtics, addressed to Nicholson and telling him the reason he plays the song Hit the Road Jack during Celtics games: "Word has it that you are…America's Number One Basketball Fan! That is the only reason that I play Hit the Road Jack – just good-natured fun" (est. $750-$1,000).
The George Walker item is an AMQS (autograph musical quotation signed), handwritten sheet music for a piece titled Sonata No. 1 for Piano, dated 1953. Walker (1922-2018), was an American composer, pianist and organist, as well as the first African American to win the Pulitzer Prize. The AMQS, in fine condition, carries a modest pre-sale estimate of $400-$500.
