I’m happy to be teaming up with @CarmaMoncton to help Mona who is up for adoption! I will give an online guitar lesson to the person/family who adopts Mona. She’s a 6 year old who has been spayed & microchipped. She is looking for a quiet home. #moncton #cat #catrescue #canada

Jane Goodall spent decades studying alpha chimpanzees and was once followed home by a young lion. Now, at 87, she's sizing up a very different threat: Climate change. n.pr/3BUCBXC

After some time off, I wanted to restart with a video that pays tribute to my cat who passed away in January. The video also gives information on my annual “Music for Critters” project to help animals & the environment. youtube.com/watch?v=T6bHaJNQ… #music #MusicforCritters #nature

I wanted to share my gratitude for the continued work done by the Moncton SPCA to help pets. I am sad to share that my cat passed away this week. I adopted him from the @GMSPCA years ago and wanted to thank the staff & volunteers who took care of him before I brought him home.
