Oaxaca-The Year After: Our talk on the Danza de la Pluma

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.

Christopher Stowens said...: It is relatively easy to get to Teo. One can take a taxi, collectivo or bus. All are available just on the other side of the baseball stadium. You may have to take a moto-taxi from the main highway, but there are usually plenty at the turnoff for Teo.; December 9, 2018 at 9:09 AM
