## Quotes

* We are citizens of Iraq and we have been in this land, our home, for millennia. Politicians leading the country say they hope that Christians will remain in the country and continue to contribute. We ask them not to remain in good intentions, but to put them into practice through works.
** Council of Christian Church Leaders: “We ask the government for peace and security” (29 March 2010) Fides News Agency
* We Christians are the ancient inhabitants of this land, not only in Iraq but throughout the Middle East. Our presence goes back many centuries. In Iraq, we have always lived in the name of brotherhood and coexistence with other religious communities. We have lived together for centuries, but now our presence is endangered. We have helped to shape and fertilize the land, spreading peace, love, justice. And we want to continue to do so in the future.

# Shlemon Warduni

Mar Shlemon Warduni (24 April 1943–) is Auxiliary Bishop of the Patriarchate of Babylon, Iraq, of the Chaldean Catholic Church.

## Quotes

* Every Christian lives brotherhood, solidarity, the desire to reconstruct the country. But obviously there can be difference of opinion. We are men, naturally. But on the good of Iraq there is agreement, and all the various Christian voices come together without difficulty in an appeal, to say to the people and the government that the Christians want to be considered fully Iraqi, they have been here for millennia, before anyone else, and they have always and in any case been with Iraq and for Iraq. Those who see us as Westerners are making a mistake, we are not Americans, or English, but Iraqi.
** The tragedy of Iraq, today (2006)
* We pray and work for peace and for freedom of religion, not just freedom of worship. The country, in order to grow, needs peace and security.

## Quotes

* Please, try to understand us. Your liberal and democratic principles are worth nothing here. You must consider again our reality in the Middle East, because you are welcoming in your countries an ever growing number of Muslims. Also you are in danger. You must take strong and courageous decisions, even at the cost of contradicting your principles. You think all men are equal, but that is not true: Islam does not say that all men are equal. Your values are not their values. If you do not understand this soon enough, you will become the victims of the enemy you have welcomed in your home.

## Quotes

* Security remains a source of instability and fear leading to lack of investment and to people leaving. The international community knows this.

It is an issue that needs to be addressed with determination, commitment and passion in order to resolve it for the betterment for all.

## Quotes

* Europe has made a mistake in cutting itself off from its spiritual and cultural roots because it has weakened it. A tree without roots to nourish it will necessarily dry up. Europe is not only Christian but also Greco-Latin, a time when concepts like justice, laws, citizenship already existed... People of very diverse cultural and religious backgrounds have immigrated to Europe in recent decades. And only the proponents of political Islam are trying to impose their lifestyle on the native population. Europe should seize the opportunity to have so many Muslims on its soil to help them free themselves and respect the religion of the countries that welcome them.

# Louis Raphaël I Sako

## Quotes

* This situation is a challenge not only for Christians, but for the whole world. After all, the fanatics want to make the whole world Islamic. The West should help us so that we can stay and do not have to leave. Iraq is our land; we have our traditions and values there. When we are in Western Europe we feel lost. We live in a very closeknit family community, but among you Westerners individualism is the rule. We are very important for the Muslims in Iraq, too, thanks to our openness, our qualifications, and our Christian values. We witness to something different. The world has the duty of reminding the government in Iraq to uphold human rights so that the religious minorities can live their faith.
** The Persecution of Christians in Iraq (May 1, 2011)
* A solution is possible if we can come together in dialogue and try to achieve reforms in an atmosphere of trust and not with military violence; if we in the Middle East can guarantee human rights such as is the case in the Western countries. Our governments have also committed themselves to this, but they do little to achieve it.

## Quotes

* We often talk about inculturation as if it had to do only with the liturgy. However, inculturation embraces the totality of human life, including morality, spirituality and forms of religious life. Inculturation should lead us to find ways of handling effectively some of the many evils of our present day society.

# John Gerard Noonan

John Gerard Noonan (February 26, 1951–) is a prelate of the Roman Catholic Church who serves as the bishop of the Diocese of Orlando.

## Quotes

* Our faith is counter-cultural to the American ideal of individualism. We are a part of the universality founded in Christ and thus a part of a larger, single family-the people of God. The care of our common home does not fall in step with individualism. God asks us to think about ourselves in relationship to God and thus in relationship to our immediate family and our extended family throughout the world.

* A life like mine annoys most people; they go to their jobs every day, attend to things, give orders, pummel typewriters, and get two or three weeks off every year, and it vexes them to see someone else not bothering to do these things and yet getting away with it, not starving, being lucky as they call it.

# Dumble Amplifiers

Dumble was a guitar amplifier manufacturer in Los Angeles. In a one-person operation, Alexander "Howard" Dumble (June 1, 1944 – January 16, 2022) made each amp personally. Thus Dumble amplifiers are the most expensive boutique amplifiers on the used market and prices have risen rapidly.

## Quotes about Dumble Amplifiers

* It’s bubble bursting time. You’ll almost certainly never play through a genuine Dumble, let alone own one. With fewer than 300 of Alexander ‘Howard’ Dumble’s amplifiers in existence, all custom-built for A-listers and the extremely well-heeled, the Dumble legend is shrouded in myth and mystery.

# Open G tuning

Among alternative tunings for the guitar, an open G tuning is an open tuning that features the G-major chord; its open notes are selected from the notes of a G-major chord, such as the G-major triad (G,B,D). For example, a popular open-G tuning is
    D–G–D–G–B–D (low to high).
An open-G tuning allows a G-major chord to be strummed on all six strings with neither fretting of the left hand nor a capo. Like other open tunings, it allows the eleven major chords besides G major each to be strummed by barring at most one finger on exactly one fret.

## Quotes about Open G tuning

* While the honorable Mr. Richards has played in many tunings — including the open D and E he copped from Don Everly — it's open G that people think of when they think of Keith and the riffs of the Rolling Stones.
** Dan Orkin of Reverb.com
* The beauty, the majesty of the five-string open G tuning for an electric guitar is that you've only got three notes — the other two are repetitions of each other an octave apart. It's tuned GDGBD. Certain strings run through the whole song, so you get a drone going all the time, and because it's electric they reverberate. Only three notes, but because of these different octaves, it fills the whole gap between bass and top notes with sounds. It gives you this beautiful resonance and ring. I found working with open tunings that there's a million places you don't need to put your fingers. The notes are there already. You can leave certain strings wide open. It's finding the space in between that makes open tunings work. If you're working the right chord, you can hear this other chord going on behind it, which actually you're not playing.. It's there. It defies logic….It's called the drone note. Or at least that's what I call it.
** Keith Richards of The Rolling Stones as quoted by Dan Orkin of Reverb.com
# Open C tuning

Open C tuning is an open tuning for guitar. The open-string notes form a C major chord, which is the triad (C,E,G) having the root note C, the major third (C,E), and the perfect fifth (C,G). When the guitar is strummed without fretting any strings, a C-major chord is sounded. By barring all of the strings for one fret (from one to eleven), one finger suffices to fret the other eleven major-chords.

## Quotes about open C tuning

* This tuning can be heard on quintessential Fahey tracks lie "Sunflower River Blues" and "Funeral Song for Mississippi John Hurt" among many others.
** Dan Orkin of Reverb.com
# Open D tuning

Open D tuning is an open tuning for the acoustic or electric guitar. The open string notes in this tuning are (from lowest to highest): D A D F sharp A D. It uses the three notes that form the triad of a D major chord: D (the root note), F sharp (the major third) and A (the perfect fifth).
In this tuning, when the guitar is strummed without fretting any of the strings, a D major chord is sounded. This means that any major chord can be easily created using one finger, fretting all the strings at once (also known as barring); for example, fretting all the strings at the second fret will produce an E major chord, at the third fret an F major chord, and so on up the neck.

## Quotes about Open D tuning

* If you're looking to wade into Joni [Mitchell's] musical waters, open D is an essential first step. Often, you see the same Joni songs transcribed in open E, as it's the same tuning one step down, and just requires different capo placement.
** Dan Orkin of Reverb.com
# Guitar tunings

Guitar tunings are the assignment of pitches to the open strings of guitars, including classical guitars, acoustic guitars, and electric guitars. Tunings are described by the particular pitches that are made by notes in Western music. By convention, the notes are ordered and arranged from the lowest-pitched string (i.e., the deepest bass-sounding note) to the highest-pitched string (i.e., the highest sounding note), or the thickest string to thinnest, or the lowest frequency to the highest.

## Quotes about guitar tunings

* With the release of Fair Warning in 1981, Eddie staked more new territory with his use of drop-D tuning in a hard-rock context. Years later, the influence of drop-D cuts like “Unchained” and “Dirty Movies,” as well as “Sinners Swing,” would be felt in songs like Ozzy Osbourne’s “No More Tears,” Alice in Chains’ “Would?” and Rage Against the Machine’s “Killing in the Name.”

# Gibson EDS-1275

The Gibson EDS-1275 is a double-neck Gibson electric guitar introduced in 1963 and still in production. Popularized and raised to iconic status by musicians such as John McLaughlin and Jimmy Page, it was called "the coolest guitar in rock".

## Quotes about the Gibson EDS-1275

* As much as their hard hitting beats and powerful guitar riffs embodied the era when rock and roll hit its peak, Jimmy Page in his leather pants embedded with dragons holding up his double neck Gibson and belting out the solo to the epic "Stairway to Heaven" is an image to put to the music.
