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.

Stranger from a strange land...

 

It's good to be back in Oaxaca.  Even though I've been down here for almost twenty years, I still think of Boston as home and maybe I always will... or maybe not.  But, as I say, it feels so good to be in Oaxaca.  My time up north was fine and productive, but wow, the stress levels up there are off the charts.  It's hard to describe the sense of relief I felt just seeing the front of mi casa.  Two days later I feel so much lighter in spirit.  Maybe it's just because the Hannaford market in Waltham didn't have this out front.  And the food is better here, too.
Anyhow, onward...
