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.

Queens of Carnaval

There is always a queen of carnaval.  In fact, in some places there are multiple queens, as indicated in yesterday's post. 
In Pinotepa Don Luis, there are two queens each year,  the queen
and the indigenous queen.
In San Juan Colorado, the queen, Fany Guadelupe,  had her moment in the sun.
Then moved into the shade out of the intense sun.
I did not get a T shirt.
Quite a dress.
Dig the glitter on her eyes.
A very different look in Puerto Escondido.
