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.

Agave in flower


Here is something you don't see everyday.  A field of agave, many in flower at the same time.  Normally, the blooming time are a bit staggered, I think.  However, this is one the road to Tlacolula, at the first big Beneval field on the right and they probably know how to time these these to create this aesthetic effect. 

Probably a little bit of Luther Burbank in someone there... meaning, someone there knows their agave.  People who are good with plants will know what I mean, others will just shake their heads and wonder.
