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.

Street Music - Della Mae on the Common

I always feature the musicians in Oaxaca, so why not here as well?  After all, there is so much music in this city and soooo many top notch musicians.  I love it.  It's everywhere you turn.  But no tuba players to compare with those in Oaxaca.

This band, Della Mae, was giving an impromptu performance on the Common as a promotion for their appearance at The Middle East, a club in Cambridge.  They have a really great sound, tight and on the money.  They are touring now.
