Oaxaca-The Year After: June 2025

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!

My favorite vivero (nursery) - san Lorenzo Cacaotepec

Look at all these beautiful plants! All from the vivero in nearby San Lorenzo Cacaotepec. Yes, more bugambilias to replace the ones that struggled through the dry season. Note to self - don't plant things at the beginning of dry season. Now that the rains are here, it's the perfect time to get them in the ground so they can grow and get ready for... the dry season.
