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.

Skyline & Crumb

The changes! The Big Dig is fading into history and the above ground work is well along. The skyline is so different now without all the roads and subways. Every time I go down there, I am almost lost, even though I have been going there for years. It's that different. Makes one looks at things differently.Speaking of seeing things differently, in the movie Crumb, R. talks about taking photos of everyday streets and sights because you could never get it right, all those wires, poles and stuff. Riding on the train lets you catch a view you can't get from the road. Imagine drawing these. If you look at R.'s drawings, you see these all the time.Viva Zap!
This one is almost Escher-like.
