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.

Megablockade


Meanwhile, just down the road, there was a huge and very disruptive blockade of the roads yesterday.  The people making the blockade are from villages that have been promised changes and repairs from last year's rains.  They say they are tired of empty promises.  That is their side of the argument.

On another side are thousands of people who cannot get to work or to their destinations.  On another side are businesses that are severely hurt by not having workers or customers.

In essence, there are a lot of very pissed off people. 

There has to be a better way.
