Jerry Garcias Legendary Guitar, Wolf to be auctioned to benefit the SPLC

From the article:

From San Francisco’s Winterland Ballroom to NYC’s Palladium to Egypt’s Great Pyramids, Jerry and Wolf travelled, appearing in front of massive, passionate audiences. It is no wonder that the devoted Deadhead who purchased the Wolf in 2002 has said, “I’ve been a fan of The Dead since I was a kid, and playing this iconic guitar over the past 15 years has been a privilege. But the time is right for Wolf to do some good. My wife and I have long supported the efforts of the Southern Poverty Law Center, and if ever we needed the SPLC, we sure do need them now.”

I never played one, or even saw one, but agreed that this piece of rock and roll history could do even more good now.

And I feel that the SPLC does great work exposing the racists.
