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.

The Guelaguetza is coming.

"Tickets? Tickets? We don't need no stinkin' tickets."

Yes, the annual dance festival, the Guelaguetza, is right around the corner, the last two Mondays in July... OK, one is in August... that's July 25 and August 1.

However, whoever is in control of the event has not gotten it together enough to make tickets available, so there are none for sale... anywhere. (Story from El Imparcial)
Maybe the bad publicity will light a fire under someone and it will get done this week.

And maybe the roof will be completed.  They are working hard at it, but the whole project has been fraught with difficulties, bad planning, wrong materials, political chicanery.  I will throw some photos up next week.
