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.

Jacarandas - Purple Haze

Really, it is more of a Prince (aka The Artist formerly known as) purple.  These from my afternoon trek.  That is San Agustin Etla way off in the distance.
 
These fields are incredibly green because we live down the hill from the source of twenty percent of the city's water.  Whenever I say where I am from, people always say, "Hay mucha agua alli." "There's lots of water there."  However, the rest of the countryside is extremely dry and to see these wonderful explosions of purple, lets one know that the rains are one day closer. Ojala!
