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.

Goin' to the chapel...

What a fine moment.  We noticed this couple walking down the street with no entourage, no hoopla, just strolling on their way to...
As they walked, everyone's heads turned.  The bride's dress was so beautiful people just stared and smiled.  Notice how almost everyone's eyes are on her.
Soon she had a few of us asking if we could take her picture.
Her novio joined in the fun.
The exquisite dress (and the bride) were from Tuxtepec.
Afterwards, I imagined the stories they would be able to tell in the future.  "When your mother walked down the street in her bridal gown....."  Ah, memories.
