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.
¡Soy consciente de todas las tradiciones del Internet!

A day in the life

Who was the woman I saw you with?
That was no woman, just some angel I met last night.
We seem to be getting some fun looks.  The kid in the Santa hat's shadow looks like the Devil...coincidence????
 No, We're not going to Santo Domingo, but very close by.... something very special, no doubt.
She says, "This is it??  Oh well,.... here I be, for all to see."
 "Hmm... oblivious tourists..... sigh... what a gig."
"Finally, at last, I get to sing some duets with OMPSM (Oaxaca's most photographed street musician)"
"Life is good"
