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.

The Road to Etla

No, not a Hope/Crosby remake, but a three km. art show.  Lots of time, we post shots of street art.  Well, this is road art in all its splendor.
In the median of the Pan American Highway, as one approaches la Villa de Etla, many new large pieces of art have been installed.  
Last year there was a similar showing.  This year all the pieces are made from recycled materials and many are simply stunning.
And on a grand scale.  I had to stand in the middle of the road, dodging traffic, as these huge birds kept spinning in the wind. "C'mon, work with me, boids"
I wasn't the only one running in traffic.
 More, tomorrow, but well worth the drive out to Etla.  It's fiesta time, too.
