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.

Palm Sunday in San Antonino del Flores

It has been a few months since I posted about how special Palm Sunday is in San Antonino, the village near Ocotlan.  Even better is this post from 2012.  However, I am finally getting the video up taking advantage of fast upload speeds.

Needless to say, it is always a remarkable day.  The sheer volume of the offerings brought by the villagers is amazing.  All of it gets sold for the church fund.  Then there is the weight of the laden statue, the men straining to carry it.
