Albert auctions a handmade brass pick-guard for a Gibson Les Paul “Old Black” style guitar, top-chromed, like Neil has.
The reason? To help the starving kids in Somalia and neighbouring regions.
The plate is massive chromed brass (250 grams) and has all feed-throughs for the original screw drillings and the humbuckers.
This pick-guard is unique and serves a good purpose, like Love! Many things are running afoul in the world today, but helping the starving kids in Africa is at least far from dogmas.
End of bidding is this Sunday, high noon, European Summer Time (CEST) = GMT+2h.

thanks to Albert. We raised in an individual action about 1000 € in total. Thimk about that!? Military expense is at least a factor 1.000.000.000 per day.
(updated) On 16. April the annual European Rustfest at the “Schloss Huelchrath” (Huelchrath castle) takes place again. It’s the gathering of the European Human-Highway mailing list and neil-young.info.

“It confuses me to hear people shouting at us that musicians should just shu…t up and entertain. Where the hell did that lame-ass idea come from? Music was, is and always will be about social condition and cause and change. Music speaks for the oppressed and downtrodden. Music launches revolution. Woody Guthrie and Hank Williams and Bob Dylan and Joan Baez and Johnny Cash and Joni Mitchell and Willie Nelson and John Lennon and Eddie Vedder and Neil Young and all the giants of the art know this. What the fuck kind of music and musicians are these boneheads actually listening to?” by -- The Passenger
