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!
If you are coming to Oaxaca, please contact me for tours or advice.

This is so Oaxaca... Colores!

I love watching people work here.  I watch and learn. They are masters in so many aspects of construction.  And check out how this building looks today.  Wow, what a color!
The workers are inspirational and have taught me much.... like, that with simple hard work, the results can be both beautifully finished and functional.  A lot of it is just grunt work, hard physical labor, no machines, just like they have been doing for hundreds of years.
It's an art!
