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.

Another school shooting....

I taught kids music almost my whole life.  And because of that, part of me always remained a kid. I guess it was partly because I always listened to what they listened to.  I still do.  So here's my response to the Texas shooting.  Listen to a voice of the young and coming. From Norway's Sigrid.... "Don't Kill My Vibe"
I weep for them, for all that's happening, but know that change will come with the next generations.
