Hi Jasper, as always your sound is very beautiful, this initiative is also very generous to the other hivers that pass by your blog leaving their musical requests. Great performance!
The only thing I could recommend you is to avoid making two posts a day and even with so little time between them and in the same community, that may interfere in the support you may receive because if one post got good support the other one may not get it cause.
Thanks for bringing your good music to the community :)
Hi Eugelys - thank you so much for your support!
Yes, I think I see what you mean about two posts at once - at least so far the second one isn't get much traffic! I am glad this post went first and got a nice big powerful vote (thanks Appreciator and everyone else who has supported this post!) that I can share out with the beneficiaries. I think I was going to schedule the Hive Music Festival Round 1 post for tomorrow, but must have rushed it when I saw that our part of town in South Africa was scheduled for its turn for an electricity black-out!
We have scheduled rolling electricity outages in South Africa at the moment as many powerplants are down with problems (very old coal powerplants) and electricity supply is not as much as demand! Rich people are buying generators, invertors or even rooftop solar panels, while the rest of us just make a hot thermos for the baby's formula and wait it out for two hours! Even I should consider a small invertor if this keeps going...
I am sorry that you are going through a very similar situation like here (Venezuela).
I imagine that you had to publish so fast for some special reason and v, thanks for motivating you with the Festival and for your nice initiative, I appreciate that you take my advice into account and I hope that you can solve the situation with the electric service that we need so much, especially when we have some work to do on the internet.
Oooh, we do worry sometimes about following Venezuela's economic collapse even more (one of our neighbouring countries Zimbabwe is quite similar and a lot of those people escape here for a better life), and we watch our Politicians quite carefully. I have friends choose to leave South Africa and raise their families elsewhere in places like Canada and Australia, but I really love Cape Town... I don't know...
Me specifically - my primary job is working for a company that develops renewable electricity (wind and solar) - so I hope to directly help the electricity situation... but it will take some years even if the right Political decisions are made from now on. Lately, the Politicians are making some good decisions about opening up the market and allowing private companies to buy electricity directly to ease the strain on the National Electricity utility.
