(pictures by Larry Baron) Los Compadres opened the season with the Redneck Mothers in the upper deck of their swank bar and soon-to-be-restaurant overlooking the town of La Peñita. It was a very tasty evening; numerous delicious h'orderves and main course were served to the guests.
The Redneck Mothers, one of the best loved groups in the area, arrived with good friends from San Pancho to hear their debut at Los Compadres.
This is likely their last year on Jaltemba Coast - they are moving south towards Barra de Navidad within the year. J'aqui joined in the fun and sang a few tunes. Folks danced and even more food was served.
The Redneck Mothers will appear at Los Compadres every Monday evening during the high season. Los Compadres owner, George Leavitt, says the Mothers will play every Monday during the tourist season and that he hopes to line up more musicians for other evenings.

Party-goers well appreciated the soirée - many dancing into the wee hours on the beach.
Congratulations workers and Mateja for the special evening.

(Dr Merv takes readers on a Mechanical trip in the Yucatan) My one-ton Dodge dually was in Merida (Yucatan - Mexico) for an engine repair. Conveniently we (wife Doris and I) have family relatives (daughter-in-law’s family of parents and three brothers) living in Merida who own two automotive repair shops: one for regular cars and trucks, and one for large equipment with diesel motors. While traveling to Merida from Paamul (one hour south of Cancun) in my 1992 Ram Charger (SUV), that was being taken to get many repairs done, I had three flat tires. More
