Provenance
Victor Bailey
From the age of sixteen, Victor Bailey (1960-2016) knew one day he would replace virtuoso bassist Jaco
Pastorius in the seminal jazz fusion band Weather Report. At eighteen, Bailey enrolled in the Berklee Col-
lege of Music, and four years later in 1982, Pastorius was out and the gig with Weather Report was his.
In the years since, Victor Bailey played on over 1,000 recordings and lent his talent to artists as varied as
L.L. Cool J, Mary J. Blige, Madonna, and Lady Gaga. Although his bass took him around the world, Victor
Bailey’s Grammy Award-winning career was bookended by his time in Boston, first as a student, and
then as a professor, at the Berklee College of Music. A portion of the proceeds will go towards a Berklee
College of Music Bass Department scholarship fund in his name.
Randy L. Steenburgen
The recipient of three gold medals and the honorary designation of Hors Concours from the Violin
Society of America in 1986, Randy L. Steenburgen (1949-2016) plied his trade as a stained glass artist,
carpenter, and computer programmer, before achieving critical acclaim as a bow maker.

Conditions of Sale1. Some of the lots in this sale are offered subject to a reserve. The reserve is a confidential minimum price agreed upon by the consignor and Skinner, Inc. below which the lot will not be sold. In most cases, the reserve will be set below the estimated range, but in no case will it exceed the estimates listed. A representative of Skinner, Inc. will execute such reserves by bidding for the consignor. In any event and whether or not a lot is subject to a reserve, the auctioneer may reject any bid or raise not commensurate with the value of such lot.
2. All property is sold “as is,” and neither the auctioneer nor any consignor makes any warranties or representation of any kind or nature with respect to the property, and in no event shall they be responsible for the correctness, nor deemed to have made any representation or warranty, of description, genuineness, authorship, attribution, provenance, period, culture, source, origin, or condition of the property and no statement made at the sale, or in the bill of sale, or invoice or elsewhere shall be deemed such a warranty of representation or an assumption of liability.
3. Except as provided in paragraph 1 above, the highest bidder as determined by the auctioneer shall be the purchaser. In the case of a disputed bid, the auctioneer shall have sole discretion in determining the purchaser and may also, at his or her election, withdraw the lot or reoffer the lot for sale. The auctioneer shall have sole discretion to refuse any bid, or refuse to acknowledge any bidder. Any bidder that plans on spending in excess of $100,000 should make arrangements with the accounting department at least five (5) days in advance of the sale, as a deposit may be required to participate.

8. Shipping is the responsibility of the purchaser. Upon request, our staff will provide the list of shippers who deliver to destinations within the United States and overseas. Some property that is sold at auction can be subject to laws governing export from the U.S., such as items that include material from some endangered species. Import restrictions from foreign countries are subject to these same governing laws. Granting of licensing for import or export of goods from local authorities is the sole responsibility of the buyer.

10.
