Rock & Roll legends Bruce Springsteen and the entire E-Street Band gave this Gibson Les Paul Jr. to me at the end of their last tour. I would never considered auctioning off this guitar but I have their blessing to do so for the benefit of my charity’s objectives. Though I was born into financial poverty I am spiritually very rich and have shared lifelong friendships and support of many extraordinary people. I’m not putting this guitar on my site for people to bid on it - they’ll do that at the We Are Family Foundation gala. I’m putting it here to count my blessings and to show that anybody can achieve anything, with hard work, conviction and Good Orderly Direction. Thank you Bruce, Little Steven and the entire E street band.
