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.

At last...

Five days without phone/internet after getting blessed by Cocijo, the Zapotec god of rain, thunder, and lightning, everything is back to normal.  He knocked out everyone around me with one intense rayo, strike.  It sure made me appreciate and respect him all the more.  And thanks, also, for the hurricane force winds and torrential rains which have filled my cistern... and the double arcoiris.

A ese Cocijo no le importa ni un rábano nuestra dependencia al Internet o la consternación de estar desconectados. Pero gracias a el por su regalo de lluvia. Just trying to practice Spanish when I have a chance, a work in progress. Glad you're back online, plus with plenty of water.
