As a result, I can only attend and film a few events and demonstrations. I'll soon need a new BahnCard 100, which unfortunately costs €4550. Unfortunately, the fundraising appeals on YouTube and Instagram have been almost entirely unsuccessful. "You can support me via PayPal (https://www.paypal.me/dannipilger).

The singer-songwriter from Cologne sings frankly and emotionally about what is happening now and what affects everyone's survival – just as PHIL OCHS did in the USA, especially in the 1960s – until he took his own life 50 years ago. He is missed today! In his memory, Gerd Schinkel complements his own songs in these concerts with songs by Phil Ochs, which Gerd Schinkel has gradually collected over the past 55 years." the German language, and some have also been adapted to the German situation in order to preserve their original character as contemporary songs.
