Even more incredibly, the guitar has been signed by the legendary Joe Walsh of the Eagles, the phenomenal Slash from Guns & Roses and rock icon Jimmy Page from Led Zeppelin! 5.

Boomtown Rats (best of CD) - signed by Bob Geldof. 8. Deborah Bonham CD, signed by Deborah Bonham. 9. A painting by the late David Smith.

David Smith taught at the Chelsea School of Art and his works have been sold worldwide. 10. Two Brazilian football shirts (auctioned separately), one signed by Gilberto Silva, former Arsenal player, currently at Panseriakos, Juna who plays for Roma, Elano who is at Manchester City, and Daniel Alves, who is at Barcelona.

In 1994, while playing in Rio, Jimmy Page witnessed firsthand the harsh deprivation of the children of the Brazilian favelas. The Led Zeppelin rock icon was so moved that he made a very generous donation to Task Brasil. His support allowed us to secure our first plot of land in Santa Teresa with a house which we converted to furnish a safe and happy home for a lucky few of the abandoned children. The house was named Casa Jimmy to honor Jimmy Page’s ongoing support. Since its establishment in 1993, rock celebrities, corporations and generous individuals like you have supported the mission of the Task Brasil Trust. We continue to use over 90% of the funds we’ve received to save the lives of infants, children, and teens. Task Brasil provides food, shelter, nurturing and just as important, an education to help children escape the drugs, poverty and danger found on the hard streets of Brazil. There is so much more we can and must do. To make a donation or learn more, visit www.taskbrasil.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timothy5151 Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 got my eyes on that esp signed by walsh, slash, and page :D That's one sweet looking guitar. I imagine that If I owned it, I would have to play it at least once before I put it on display in my home (secured display not doubt). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
