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.

Beware

Its the Ides of March. What that means we're not entirely sure, but it is a beautiful day here, almost 60 and sun filled. My ducks (or geese, as you choose) are all in a row. These guys were out on the Charles along with the scullers.

My work here is done for now and I will be heading south in the next few weeks. I am debating driving to Oaxaca, but most of the time that seems like an insane idea, maybe the product of a long winter.

The plan is to work on two new directorios, film, photograph and write about what I experience. I have a better idea of how to approach things and exactly where to be at certain times. I am ready for the guelaguetza.I also want to make a new video of the dancers in San Agustin on El Dia del Muertos. I know, its a tough job, but..... Really, I am open and up for anything.

But first, anyone for saffron?
