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.

"Love that dirty water"

I am just finishing up my visit to El Norte and it hasn't been too bad at all.  This is such a beautiful time of year in New England.  The land is so lush and verdant and the last couple of days have been classic in terms of weather with blue skies, perfect temperatures.  I have had my fix of dim sum, BBQ and Maine lobster.  Soon I will get back to tortillas, quesillo and real avocados.  I like this balancing act of going between Oaxaca and Boston.
A little context.
Really, it was this that caught my eye first.  They have the same outfits in Oaxaca.... and the same mannequins, which always strikes me as funny.
And these are for my good friend, Henry Wangeman, of Amate Books in Oaxaca.  This is the state of the book business in Boston.  The Brattle Book store downtown.
I have no idea what happens when it rains.
More in a bit....
