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.

Tres Reyes! - For Real!

No better place to be on El Dia de los Tres Reyes, Three Kings Day, than in nearby Tres Reyes Etla, where they always do it right. 
And there they were, live and in person, los Tres Reyes.
It is a small village, but there were lots of people. who looked to be all locals.  And lots of music, food, fireworks and confetti.  I guess I could have gotten a photo on one of the horses with the kings, but this little guy made me rethink it.
The church was beautifully decorated with the village's namesakes prominently displayed.
No place I rather be...
