Oaxaca-The Year After: Tres amigos

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.

The family of our favorite local restaurant in Etla, Comedor Colon, recently had a wedding. One of the daughters, Lulu, met her husband to be, Victor Hugo at the restaurant. We gave them a killer boombox as a gift. And they presented us with party favors, gifts and a free meal. So here are the three amigos, Henry Wangeman of Amate Books, his son Zack (a recent graduate - felicidades!) and some guy. Do we look happy enough???? I wear my V y L hat all the time while driving and you have to admit, very cool bandannas.
