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.
¡Soy consciente de todas las tradiciones del Internet!
If you are coming to Oaxaca, please contact me for tours or advice.

Gettin' out while the gettin's good....

I getting out of Dodge (Boston) earlier than anticipated.  If I am to be trapped somewhere, I just as soon, it be Oaxaca.  I worry that Mexico may close the border.  All the things I love about being in Beantown are off limits.  The library is closed. Motor vehicle office, the same.  The Marathon, the Sox, March Madness.....And Chinatown, etc...
Not sure about liquor stores, but I don't drink.....
Anyhooo.... I'm finished.... for now.
For now.... see you on the other side of all of this.... ojala!

Hang in there Hermano
. And avoid large crowds. Otherwise common-sense: avoid sick people - get them to avoid contacting people as much as possible - and try to live with as few social connections as you can. That last - not NO contacts. Sensible contacts, people who are not sick. If the people you're with have had contact with sick people, they're a risk of spreading the virus NOT from themselves, but from contact with contagious stuff - contact is the operative word there - so wash hands. They should wash, and you should wash after some sort of contact with them. And that's it.
Gotta tell you, this is an absolutely bizarre phenomenon - slightly under the surface global panic.
