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.

Se busca

OK, I'll admit it's been a while since I posted anything.  And that's a "Wanted" poster I saw in the city today.  And no, I'm not the Indigo Girl, but I guess folks have wondered where I've been.  Friends wrote and asked, "What? No Teotitlan del Valle shots? No guelaguetza shots?" Well, I do have a few, but really, so many people I know have covid or have had it, that it made sense to just keep on keepin' on.  I guess I'm like a lot of people in that life has changed in the last few years and we're all adjusting as best we can. 
You know, just sitting back and watching the corn grow, staying close to home.  Incidentally, that corn looks pretty good, but really we are in a drought here and most of the corn around here looks really bad.  Hoping for the rains to come next week.  In the mean time, I'm doing lots of music and the gardens look great... oh, and there was that ten day period in which the house had all the cement eaves replaced.  These guys were masters of working with the stuff.  I'll try to post more now.  However, one of my constant sayings is, "My exciting life..."  and my current mantra is, "Well, at least we made it this far." 
I guess I've been gone a while.  Remember this corn street art from the city?  It used to be a single stalk and now...
