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.

Look Ma, no hands



So there we have it.  Ulises on his way out says his hands are clean.  “Me voy con la frente en alto, con las manos limpias y el deber cumplido”.  I think that translates roughly, "I leave with my head held high, with clean hands and the job completed."
We live in a time when there is no lie too preposterous to utter.  


No really, I prefer it my way.

I think that means: Who me? I didn't do anything, I was just governing here, minding my own business and people disappeared, indigenous were ambushed and my friends got lucrative contracts. You people are crazy!
