Both guitars are autographed and verified as authentic. The 6-string electric guitar, signed by Rolling Stones Members: Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts, Ronnie Wood, and Bill Wyman; can be found online for prices upwards of $2,500.

The acoustic 6-string, with talent spanning five decades, is autographed by 15 country music superstars, including: Keith Urban, Tim McGraw, Brad Paisley, Kenny Chesney, Faith Hill, Toby Keith, Willie Nelson, Shania Twain, Garth Brooks, Vince Gill, Kenny Rogers, Clint Black, Alan Jackson, George Strait and Wynona Judd. The acoustic can be found online priced at $3,000.

“Both guitars present a unique opportunity to own a piece of musical history while supporting a worthy cause,“ says Tim Mabe, president of the High Point Rotary Club. “Whether you are a country music fan, or enjoy classic rock and roll, check out the auction for your chance to own a piece of the stars.”

The major Piggybank Fund beneficiary for 2015 is the Horsepower Therapeutic Learning Center. The Rotary Club of High Point will award a major portion to the center to support their new location in the High Point area.

This FREE family-friendly outdoor event series, every second Sunday of the month from May to October from 3-6 pm, is presented by Flow Automotive and supported by a number of other local sponsors.

On stage, our Aug. 9 SSO4 opens at 3pm with Laila Nur, a self-taught singer-songwriter who is one of North Carolina’s most exciting emerging artists, with her inventive approach to folk, funk, soul, and blues.

 Diali Cissokho and Kaira Ba, our August headliner, is a Senegalese singer who combines the centuries-old musical culture of his “griot” ancestors with elements of blues and rock & roll. Diali’s electrifying voice and serpentine guitar work propel songs old and new about timeless themes of mythology, migration and universal love. 

Our Non-Profit of the Month is The Olio, an arts program featuring the first glassblowing studio in Winston-Salem and an apprentice program for local youth.
