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.

A tree grows in....

No, not Brooklyn.  I have been exploring the city by taking different routes in each time - once by circumventing one of the normal blockades that regularly occur.  I've ended up in some interesting places.  I know the city pretty well, but there are lots of neighborhoods where I've never been before.
I saw this wonderful ficus benjamina planted in one of the medians just south of the Abastos Market.  It looks like it has been there for years.  I love the latticed trunk.  I wonder how old it is and how long it took to do.  I have seen much smaller ones in nurseries, but this baby is a prime specimen.
