LIMEHOF closes curtain on Billy Joel exhibit, offering rare memorabilia in unique event

The Long Island Music and Entertainment Hall of Fame (LIMEHOF) will be “movin’ out” the extremely popular Billy Joel, My Life: A Piano Man’s Journey exhibit, marking the occasion by hosting a special event.

The Billy Joel Collectors Presentation, which will feature the designer of the exhibit and two local collectors who loaned their personal items for display, will be held at 2 p.m. on Saturday, October 25 at 97 Main St. in Stony Brook. 

“We’re thrilled to be able to honor these collectors and put them in the spotlight at this event to give them the credit they deserve,” said Barry Fisch, board member and general manager at LIMEHOF. “Their passion for collecting is part of what made the exhibit such a popular success over the last two years, and thousands of visitors have enjoyed seeing these rare items—all in one exhibit.”

Kevin O’ Callaghan, renowned designer, board member, and creative director of LIMEHOF and the two collectors will be on hand to discuss the artifacts on display and take a metaphoric “final curtain call bow” at the end of the show. O’Callaghan will talk about his experience working directly with Billy Joel to design and create the exhibit. The collectors will talk about the art of collecting all things Billy, including stories about how the items were obtained.

As part of the event, the collectors have donated some of their own rare items for door prizes and a silent auction to raise money for LIMEHOF, including show flyers, albums, signed collectibles, promotional materials and various tour memorabilia.The event is free with an admission ticket.
