The here and now... and what and why

Complacency is a trap. At least that’s what I was thinking when I up and left the comfort of a Yankee prep school gig, where I taught music, amongst other things, for 28 years. There was also that life long career as a composer, musician and artist.

First, it was a year in St. Thomas, USVI, working as a reporter and shooting photography and then, a year in San Agustin Etla, Oaxaca, Mexico.
Time passed.
More time passed and a year back in the Athens of America followed by a hasty return to Oaxaca where it is all happening.
A couple of years in San Sebastian Etla and now, just down the road in San Pablo Etla. Life is good.

You can find my music on Jango (World & latin - Worldbeat) and at iTunes and most online stores.

Windy? Have a cerveza.

The wind that bought down part of the Guelaguetza Auditorium's covering was quite strong, but not that unusual.  As mentioned before, the coast of southern Oaxaca is one of the windiest places in the world and that wind is going to be turned into beer and Coke, amongst other things.

Heineken beer and Coca-Cola are among the products that look set to be produced using power from Latin America’s largest wind energy project.

Danish turbine producer Vestas received a 396 MW order for the Mareña Renovables project, which is to be located in the south-eastern region of the state of Oaxaca, Mexico.

When built, the wind farm is expected to be the largest wind-energy project in Latin America, according to Mareña Renovables.
The wind farm itself will be located in the Isthmus of Tehuantepec in the southeastern region of the State of Oaxaca. Delivery of the turbines is set to start in the second quarter of 2012, Vestas has confirmed in a statement.
As part of the turnkey contract, Vestas will provide the entire range of services to build the wind farm, including civil and electrical works, supply, installation and commissioning of the wind turbines.
