Greta Thunberg

Sep 21 2019

Fridays For Future Protest March – Berlin, September 20th 2019

Saving the world was high on the agenda today. On the streets of Berlin alone there were 300,000 people. Can the climate protests put enough pressure on the world leaders to stop polluting? Do governments really doubt that climate change is real or is it simply “an inconvenient truth” that threatens the established way the world’s industries operate? It’s hard to believe that Al Gore’s film was released in 2006, Greta Thunberg was three years old, fourteen years later here we are. If it takes years for people to act on something that they are aware threatens them, how can we ever execute plans to reverse the polluting of the Earth and guarantee our future.

See below for the world’s worst offenders (from Science Daily website).

“A new study led by researchers in Australia has ranked most of the world’s countries for their environmental impact. The world’s 10 worst environmental performers according to the proportional environmental impact index (relative to resource availability) are: Singapore, Korea, Qatar, Kuwait, Japan, Thailand, Bahrain, Malaysia, Philippines and Netherlands. In absolute global terms, the 10 countries with the worst environmental impact were found to be (in order, worst first): Brazil, USA, China, Indonesia, Japan, Mexico, India, Russia, Australia and Peru.”

Songwriting & Guitar Guidance with Marty Willson-Piper
ORDER HERE

"These are awesome sessions that I highly recommend for guitar players of all levels. Very informative, frank discussions on everything related to guitar and music in general. Definitely a must for anyone pursuing songwriting."
(Stephen G., VA, USA)

"Marty knows how to bypass scales and get to the heart of feel and timing. His musical knowledge spans multiple cultures and genres. Perhaps most importantly, Marty is a cool dude. I highly recommend his guitar guidance." (Jed B., MN, USA)

"Ok, so you’re sitting in your home and Marty is across the world but is actually right here teaching you how to play guitar and write songs. He is a delight to talk to and he is your teacher, meaning he wants to see you get something out of his lessons. You know he’s paying attention and wants to steer you in the right direction. I am so grateful and humbled that he offers his time in this manner. This is an amazing opportunity for anyone who admires anything from his enormous body of work. How often do you get to learn from somebody that inspired you in the first place? Amazing." (Ann S., CA, USA)

Missing

This is my stolen 1965 Rickenbacker 12-string, serial number EB157. If there’s any chance of this guitar coming back to me before I go to meet my maker, then that would be wonderful. Please contact me if you have any information.
