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.

Changing of the guard...

New year, new agave in front of Santo Domingo, like this beautiful tobala... and they do make good guard plants.
I stopped, watched and talked to these workers as they wrestled the plants in, tough work. 
I said I'd lost most of my agaves to el toro, the agave beetle, so I always ask about solutions.  Sadly, they said that there was a chemical, which I knew about, but I can't use it in the garden.
Uh, and note that this guy isn't wearing gloves.  I said I always bled when I work with agave and we laughed saying, "No blood! Maybe he wasn't really working."  But really, these guys were doing great work.  And we shared a love for the plants.
