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.

Twenty years - Veinte años

That's how many years this gentleman from San Antonino Castillo Velasco has been carrying the heavy load of El Burro every Palm Sunday or Domingo de Ramos.  I recognized him last Sunday from previous years.  Unfortunately, I did not get his name, but he certainly has earned my respect.
Every time I've seen him, he has been in front on the left.
It is an arduous penance as is obvious by his face after finally arriving at the church for mass.
I'll get his name and I'll look for hi again next year.
