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.

Flower Power

I have been recording music the last few days which is always an intense experience.  It is easy to get lost in the music, lost in time.  I would come up for air every now and then and go outside and work in the garden..... Hmmm.... that's sounds like a might fine time, doesn't it?  Plus, the weather has been off and on with the rain and sun, all-in-all, you know, perfect.

As far as I can tell, there is no easy way to post audio here, so I will put it up on Jango in a couple of days.

In the meantime, some flower action. These nice big belladonna flowers. 

I started the plant last year from a tiny cutting and it must be almost two meters tall now.

Zinnias are a favorite. 

They attract butterflies like crazy.

What no butterfly?  Next time.

Gosh, I wish Belladonna would grow here in France. That is one beautiful plant! And I am so excited about the Jango news : I will be all ears awaiting the arrival of the new baby / babies!!!!
