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.

Fashion statements - Santa Maria Tlahuitoltepec style

These kids are from Santa Maria Tlahuitoltepec and I love how the traditional mixes with the current.
Like this wonderful outfit worn by a little girl, a fashion plate in purple.
And a few feet away, this girl wearing her Tinkerbell tee and playing with her blue-haired doll, who no doubt is some franchised character.  Anyone know who she is?
And these two sisters playing together.  One wearing her gorgeous traditional outfit, while her sister goes with a slightly Scandinavian style.
Sweet, no matter how you look at them.  I wish I knew what the "S" and "P" were a part of.  Standard and Poors?  I doubt it.
