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.

When in doubt....

This should be one of the official phrases here in Oaxaca.... and it probably is... I mean it's on T-shirts and one hears it all the time.  All of which is very good for Oaxaca, where the world-wide rise in awareness and popularity of mezcal has kick-started lots of local economies.
I don't drink, but I love the plant, the process and the people who make it.  I get it straight from the source in Chichicapam.  Translation??  C'mon... everything good, drink mezcal., everything bad, drink mezcal... if there's no remedy, there's a liter and a half.  It's better in Spanish.
