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.

Mural, Mural, on the wall....

There are some beautiful new murals adorning the walls of the market in Tlacolula.
They cover the entire left side of the main entrance.  And, of course, there are so many iconic images of the market and Tlacolula, like the breads that are just on the other side of that wall.
Cacao and chocolate.....
Into the traditional oven...
We were lucky to see one of the three artists who created these wonderful murals.
Marmotas, the globes, baskets, the traditional traje... and the ladies from San Marcos with their barro rojo..... perfecto!
Not to mention the Feria de Mezcal, Nieves and Vinagre which ends today.
