Fwd: Greg Greenway Live Streaming Event Schedule

----- Forwarded message ---

From: Greg Greenway

Starting Thursday April 30th at 7:30pm EDT

Greg Greenway Live Streaming Schedule  on the web:  My very first streaming concert was a huge learning experience. I've stepped up my efforts to get the sound and the connection with the listeners as real as possible. I had such a tremendous response from folks all over North America and from every stage of my career, that I've decided to follow up with a concert I'm calling Songs from the  Beginning. These are songs from the origins of my musical journey, songs sung at the Nameless Coffeehouse and Passim in Harvard Square, Cambridge, at Brandeis University, at Brevard College, and in my friends' living rooms. Amazingly enough, people wanted to hear the old songs. So, on Thursday April 30, 2020 from 7:30 - 9pm EDT I'm going to honor this connection. The link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/81294747630.  Again, I'll be able to get questions and requests through the chat function,  but I've already got an entire set list's worth of requests - some songs I had totally forgotten. But the people haven't. You can respond to this email and I'll get it. You can also go to my FaceBook page and see the ongoing conversation (https://www.facebook.com/greg.greenway.18). You do not need to download Zoom for this. It should all happen just by clicking on the link. If you're worried, I have a PDF for you that shows what you'll encounter. If you recognize Winds of Change, Let It Roll, Summer Song, Johannesburg, Massachusetts, Free at Last, and Falling, we'll have a trip down memory  lane together. If you've never heard them, here's your chance. So many people remember them... and that fills my folksinger heart. Hope to be with you on every other Thursday evening for the foreseeable  future. Everything is up in the air, so we'll see if I can hold to that schedule. I want every time we can be together to be special. So I'll work very hard to make that happen. gg   Next Scheduled Live Streaming Concert Thursday April 30, 2020 7:30pm EDT To join the concert: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/81294747630 To donate to Greg Greenway, click on the link below: Greg Greenway Paypal Pool CDs will be available soon from greggreenwaycds.com.

Highly recommended movie on the environment, as per John H

I have not yet watch this movie, but it is on my list due to John H's suggestion.

Michael Moore has produced a new movie, Planet of Humans, about the environmental movement now streamed on YouTube.  One in which he (thankfully) does not appear.  It is exceptional – well worth the hour and forty minutes it runs and do watch all of the credits as they contain additional information. 

I apologize if you are receiving this for the second (or even third) time as I received it from two different sources.
