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.

Anyone? ¿Cualquier?

Here is a antique poster I restored. I wonder if anyone has any insights into it? I am sure there are many song references, but I have no idea what they are.I left it nice and large if you want to click on it for closer viewing.

Incidentally, the restoration work that I did in Photoshop was extensive. The paper was full of holes, having been snacked upon by moths or mice and there was lots of discoloration. It was too large to be scanned at one time so I did it in quadrants and then put them together. I am going to shoot it again with the new camera just to make comparisons.
