Bill Clinton During the celebration, The Foundation paid tribute to Former President Bill Clinton, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, Mariah Carey, John Sykes, founder of the VH1 Save The Music Foundation and NAMM: The International Music Products Association for their unyielding support and dedication to The Foundationís mission. New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg kicked-off the evening by welcoming guests back to the city where the Foundation began, followed by NBC's Conan O'Brien who showcased his own musical talents, or lack thereof against orchestra member Michael Stuckey. Later in the program, Tim Gunn of Project Runway was on hand to auction off an autographed Paul McCartney stage-played Hofner guitar donated by the Beatle himself.
