These two street musicians are probably two of Oaxaca's most photographed people. I have shots of them going back years. Many tourists stop and snap them and then deposit a peso in each of the cans. The only problem is that they never tune up together which always makes the music sound... well, out of tune. Maybe that is just the conservatory-trained musician in me, you know, a jerk. I think it was Miles who said, "Only college boys play in tune."

Could not find a suitable section so I written here, how to become a moderator for your forum, that need for this?
A moderator for the thousands of comments I get? Not quite yet, thanks.
We are commenting in silent awe. If I comment out loud, I cry. Salt water on the keyboard is bad.
Love to the four Etla musketeers-even the anonymous one (whose artesano photo I adored). Huge hugs to all. Extrañado mucho a mi gente y la cocina familiar en Etla.
Hoping to be moderated.
