This vintage, original cardboard poster advertised the great Jimmie Rodgers, with The Rays in support, appearing at the Honolulu Civic Auditorium for a run of shows in March 1958. Tom Moffatt, one of Hawaii's best known concert promoters, was the MC for the shows. Jimmie Rodgers had released the song "Honeycomb" (listed on the poster) the year prior, which became his biggest hit. Over the following year he had a number of other hits that reached the Top 10 on the charts: "Kisses Sweeter than Wine"; "Oh-Oh, I'm Falling in Love Again"; "Secretly"; and "Are You Really Mine". This is the first time we've auctioned this rarity!!
