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.
¡Soy consciente de todas las tradiciones del Internet!

Home cookin'

As I mentioned, I am in El Norte and I have a serious cold.  I'm taking my medicine of choice.... chicken soup, of course.  However......
I wish I had some of these delicious special tamales from last Muertos cooked by, in my humble opinion, the best cook in the entire galaxy., Emilia Ruiz form Teotitlan del Valle.
The masa is so light it floats in your mouth and the amarillo, just perfect. 
It is very easy to eat many, many of these.... 10 to 12 of them easy, without even thinking.
But for now, it is what every grandmother around the world recommends for a scold and the flu...  a little chicken soup.
