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.

Spring Break! - How I spent it...

No day at the beach, but many trips to one of the best libraries around.  Newton, MA does many thing well.  Schools, roads, trash and snow removal and many of the city government's responsibilities are performed just the way one would like.  And the Newton Public Library is simply a treasure.  I always say, "There are hundreds of parking places and they are always filled. 
How a library is supported says a lot about a community and this place speaks volumes.... (ouch)
The library has a huge collection, including sections for children, tweens, young adults, books in Chinese, Russian, etc.  A huge selection of books, audiobooks, DVD's, CD's, and everything else.  And all delivered using the latest technology. 
Checking out things is done by merely by placing them on a device and returning them is even easier. Things are automatically scanned and sorted into bins. 
I, along with lots of kids, love watching the operation. 
Hmmm... I also shot a little pool.
