LANSING — You can forgive Joe Kimble if he can't pick a favorite from his eclectic collection of blues and rock and roll art and memorabilia.

He's spent much of his adult life acquiring it, piece by piece, and there's a lot of cool stuff there.

There are posters signed by icons Chuck Berry, Dr. John and James Cotton. All of the Ann Arbor Blues Festival posters from the late 1960s and early 1970s. An original painting of the Beatles from their final photo session in August 1969 and pieces signed by the Funk Brothers, the famous Motown Records backing band. Not to mention items featuring Bruce Springsteen, the Rolling Stones, Eminem (made from Michigan license plates), the East Lansing Art Fair and a poster signed by Pinetop Perkins, Muddy Waters' piano player, to mention only a few.
