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!

To the market....

Every time I return from El Norte and shopping for food there, I am struck by how lucky we are to have the local markets here.
It's a healthy slice of normal life.
Not only are the prices very reasonable, the freshness, the quality, is always just wonderful.
This is Etla, where market day is Wednesday and always worth the short drive for me.  Look at all those taste treats!
And here is Doña Melisa, who makes the fattest and most delicious tamales.  Her rajas are my absolute favorites.
She has been feeding me for over ten years!  And, oh, the aromas, the sights,  the temptations...
Thumbs up all around.
