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.

Boston Teabaggin'

I took the train into the city to see what Fox hath wrought - The Boston Teabag Party under the Massachusetts Statehouse.

"Love that dirty water. Oh Boston, you're my home."
The cardboard figures were not part of they rally, merely innocent bystanders from Mi Casa, a house building organization.

It was beautiful weather and there were 500-700 people, although many were like me, gawkers and passersby. I was there for a couple hours, from noon until 2pm. Bad sound system. Hard to hear. They needed roadies.

This guy standing under the Statehouse is in "full blackface" body suit with an Obama mask.
A pretty strange group. Everyone was taking pictures of everyone.
I did watch a CNN team get hassled to the point that they stopped shooting. I was asked to sign numerous petitions and when I declined, "Oh you're one of those."
