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.

Festiva de los Moles - The day after

Whew!  That was some serious eating.  To begin the crazy action-packed last weeks of July, we were lucky to eat our way through the annual Festiva de los Moles in the Ethno-botanic Garden behind Santo Domingo.  It is different each year and this year it was very well organized and attended by a much younger crowd.  There was reserved seating for the first time and that seemed to work out very well.  So what was on the menu?
Appetizers,
Drinks, including a nice mezcal... no, not those Kochs.... I hope.
Dinner and dessert all for $400 MP ($25 US).
And great music and wonderful people, all of whom were happy and hungry.  Even the governor.
There was a camera crew shooting next year's promotional video and they had this table set up with different ingredients for each of the moles..... more about that later.
It's a busy day.  First, the Feria de Queso y Quesillo in nearby Reyes Etla and then into the city for the first guelaguetza desfile.
