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.

Oaxaca at its best....

July is simply the best month of the year here.  The city is filled with people... and art, music, dance and food, glorious, food.  And Oaxaca knows what it's doing.  There are large, absolutely gorgeous photos prominently placed along the sidewalks.
Really, these are some of the best shots I've ever seen, large, crisp and beautiful. 
There is also a large exhibition of, maybe, 200 photos from all over the state in front of the governor's palace that must be seen. 
The shots of people in their regional outfits and settings are absolutely amazing. 
Or how about the display of rebozos in front of Santo Domingo? 
More of those later.
