It's a story based on the musical appreciation of the voice/guitar, male/female duet from the Sixties titled "Summer Wine". Here, it's described as the musings and soliloquy of a rancher cum nobleman cowboy of high stature and reputation. He narrates his experience of a day while on a routine seasonal survey of his vast ancestral ranch. He lost his way, wandered, and reached places he has never seen before. A mix of distressing thoughts rushes into his mind as he makes his rounds and makes new and sometimes shocking discoveries. Well, It turned out to be quite an eye-opening, but a largely distressing experience.
He gives an eyewitness account of a range of topics: ranch & ranchers; cowboys & cattlemen; the history of the land; the indigenous people & the invaders; greed & deception; domination & subjugation; enactment of oppressive laws on the vanquished; immunity & privileged laws for the conquerors; the formation of new industries of meat processing, oil, gas, and fracking; the boom & bust cycles that followed; struggles of ordinary people & communities; degradation of earth & environment; Methane, CO2 & Greenhouse gas emissions; drastic climate changes, deforestation & extinction of species. At the same time, it's been an interesting, educational, as well as a thought-provoking expedition of immense consequences.
The actual climactic and suspenseful event in the song takes place at an old, quaint, out-back Mexican tavern in the farthest outskirts of the rugged ranch nestled within a rocky and extensive escarpment range.
Oh, well, the taste of wine was alluring and lingering on the pallet; the music quite sweet and melodious; the Mexicano guitarrón was loud and delectably played; the hostess in her Mayan costume was gorgeous, congenial, and endearing.
Sounds interesting? But, how did it all end?.
It is indeed fascinating to read and find out!
