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.

Recuerdos - Memories

Even though I am in the lushness of New England after getting brushed by Andrea, the first hurricane of the season, I keep flashing back to the time in Santa Maria Tlahuitoltepec.  It is such a remarkable village.... and 90 percent of the people there play a musical instrument.  No wonder I love the place.  Plus, look at these faces.
I do believe it is against the law to be this cool.
The Pied Piper calling me back..... muy pronto.

How can one resist?

You've gotten a nice variety of portratis, the faces.......powerful, soft, young and beautiful to strong, wise, and weathered, still the beauty remains. Also like the girl on a purple plate of fashion.
