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.

The Things I miss... Esperanza

A double meaning, here on a Thanksgiving Day in El Norte.... Esperanza, of course, means "hope."  And it's what this country needs in abundance.  It does seem to be missing in action, however, I'm confident, because hope is eternal.
The other hope is Esperanza, of the eternal beautiful smile, one of my favorite people.  She is a constant light in Tlacolula, dancing and serving barbacoa.
I'm not really sure where she is these days.  After working seven days a week for so many years in the market, she's on a bit of a vacation, parts unknown. 
I miss her smile.  Thanks for giving.
