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 things I missed - Street art

It's like the streets here are an art gallery.  It never gets old, the ever-changing street art. It's just normal life.... and it's healthy and inspirational on several levels, both social and artistic.
Again, it's one of those things I missed in New England.  I know there are murals and graffiti in Boston, but I sure didn't see much... not like this
Here, they tell it like it is.  It's out there for everyone to see.... until it is torn down or painted over.
Then.... it's on to the next..
Frankly, Boston could use much more of this.
