It's pretty unfortunate how many beautiful and elegant pieces of all types of collectibles are stored away, never seeing the light of day, and stories untold.

I'd like to break that glass ceiling -- a story with a happy ending.

A friend of mine co-owns an advisory agency with his brother, representing high-end clientele.

In late 2022, he told me that one of his clients had a ton of music memorabilia locked away in storage, and they were looking to move them to a new storage.

That meant no showcase, no spotlight, no nothing. Back into the boxes where they were for the past few decades.

Now, my friend is a crypto-geek. He understood the potential of the blockchain, the idea of bridging the physical and digital divide, the increased visibility of each item, and even allowing these assets to be transacted instantly with access to global liquidity.

We offered to his client to intake ALL of the music memorabilia, digitize each item, and build out a profile to expand on both the legacy of the individual who was gifted these items, as well as the items themselves.

The person I am talking about is Barry Fey, one of the most prolific concert promoters of all time. Each item within the Barry Fey Collection is gifted music memorabilia by Rock & Roll artists from the late '60s to the early '00s.

Barry Fey's legacy continues to live on through Americana, and the items are on-chain, each with provenance tied to whoever owns them. Forever.
