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 Joint is Hoppin'


I am talkin' about the market in Etla.  Well, maybe it just seemed that way after being a hermit for a week and getting lost in recording and gardening.  I know, I know, it's a tough life, but....

I still have to fight traffic just like you.

The weather has been a mix of sun and clouds.
All of which has made for a great harvest.

 
The ladies had tons of fresh produce.

This lady had it all, cilantro, squash flowers, a comal, nopales and a great smile.

Best shot of the day.... Zombie ice cream eater,  "I scream, you scream...."  He actually has a dollop of ice cream on his nose,
