Oaxaca-The Year After: To Sir, with love... with a shave and a haircut

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.

To Sir, with love... with a shave and a haircut

This is not my barber, but I love this peluqueria, or barber shop, that I pass every time I'm in the city. I mean, if you look closely, the place really says it all and with such personal panache, very old school. Clearly, a place for gentlemen and boys and the name leaves no doubt....

Sir! It's where James Bond would get his hair cut if he was in town. And by another Sir....

All for about $2 or 3 US.....The tire is extra.

Christopher Stowens said...: I went to my gentlemen today. It is always almost an out of body experience, so old school. He plays 50's trio vocals on his CD player. We are so lucky to have these people in out lives.; February 13, 2019 at 9:02 PM
