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.

Flor de Piña danza - Etla - 2012

With the guelaguetza approaching, coming on the last two Mondays in July, I thought maybe I should post something from last year's guelaguetza in nearby Etla.  I know, I know, it took long enough, but really it is just the upload time here in Beantown versus that in San Sebastian - five minute here and hours and hours there.

At any rate, here is the Flor de Piña danza, which is always one of the absolute hightlights anytime it is performed.  The crowd always goes crazy and I am right there with them.  We love, love, love, these dancers.

More videos coming in the next few days.  Gotta make hay while the sun shines....
