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.

Traditions

I couldn't pass up the chance to get the traditional shot of a politician eating something.  This from the opening of Saber del Sabor last week.  Not quite as good as one eating a corn dog on a stick, but still......
In this case, it is Alejandro Ismael Murat Hinojosa, the new governor and his wife.  Murat is the son of one of Oaxaca's previous governors, José Murat Casab and the scion of this powerful family, one with Lebanese roots.  And just like with his father, not altogether beloved.... yet.
