Auction house Guernsey’s is planning to auction off some 2,000 objects owned by the late country singer Waylon Jennings. The “Good Hearted Woman” singer, who died in 2002, owned a number of unconventional items that were given to him throughout his long career in music. Among the items going up for auction are two of Nelson’s braids which the [New York _Time_](http://artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/2014/08/06/at-a-waylon-jennings-sale-hanks-boots-buddys-bike-and-willies-hair/?%5Fphp=true&%5Ftype=blogs&ref=music&%5Fr=0)[s reports](http://artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/2014/08/06/at-a-waylon-jennings-sale-hanks-boots-buddys-bike-and-willies-hair/?%5Fphp=true&%5Ftype=blogs&ref=music&%5Fr=0) were somewhat bizarrely given to Jennings at a 1983 party in honor of his sobriety. (Even more bizarrely, the party was hosted by Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash.) Also up for sale will be a pair of Hank Williams’ old cowboy boots and a motorcycle once owned by Buddy Holly. The motorcycle would have been a particularly personal item for Jennings, who was a good friend of Holly’s. Jennings was even meant to get on a 1959 plane that crashed, killing Holly, Ritchie Valens and J.P. Richardson, though he gave up his seat for Richardson. According to the _Times_, two former members of the band the Crickets — who had been touring with Holly when he first bought the bike — tracked it down in 1979 and presented it to Jennings as a birthday gift. The auction is set for Oct. 5. \[[New York _Times_](http://artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/2014/08/06/at-a-waylon-jennings-sale-hanks-boots-buddys-bike-and-willies-hair/?%5Fphp=true&%5Ftype=blogs&ref=music&%5Fr=0)\] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3088756/willie-nelson-hair-auction/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3088756/willie-nelson-hair-auction/"},"headline":"Willie Nelson's Hair and Buddy Holly's Motorcycle Being Auctioned Off","datePublished":"2014-08-07T13:24:15.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-21T09:32:47.761Z","description":"Some 2,000 items owned by the late-country singer are being auctioned off in October","url":"https://time.com/3088756/willie-nelson-hair-auction/","keywords":["Music","Auction","celebrity"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt54f101e3a2085686/69869eaacd804d4f87ccc421/465508519.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Megan Gibson","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/megan-gibson/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt54f101e3a2085686/69869eaacd804d4f87ccc421/465508519.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"56th GRAMMY Awards - Arrivals","caption":"56th GRAMMY Awards - Arrivals","creditText":"Steve Granitz--WireImage","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3088756/willie-nelson-hair-auction/","name":"Willie Nelson's Hair and Buddy Holly's Motorcycle Being Auctioned Off"}}]}] ```
