If you speak Emo, you'll understand what I'm talking about.

It also explains the occasional need to retreat from human contact as far as possible.

Jacob not only draws and colors, but comments on what he is working on.

This is a people type of song, about everyone loving each other, because we is all we got.

Matai, Kenneth Scott, sent these images and sound track to me with the request to produce a Tribute to Big John Hunt, rancher,warrior,artist, on the occasion of his 60th birthday. John and his wife Hazel   more...now reside in Florence Italy.

Kenneth is an artist,sculptor,jeweller and art teacher who resides if Florence Italy and knows John and Hazel Hunt as friends.

Here is Kenneth's revealling message to me:

TJ,
I have spoken to John regarding your offer to make a video featuring his work and his reaction was that he would deem it an an honour if you considered it an effort worthwhile.
TJ,let me first let me tell of this man and why he has become to me a giant of a man,with a heart bigger than his stature and a talent as honest as his word.John is at heart a product of the high sierras,a mountain man,his eye always on the horizon,his expanse of humanity is as wide as the deserts of New Mexico.To have encountered his like in renaissance Florence is like coming across an ice crystal on a tropical isle---an absolute enigma.A week ago John attained his 60th year,his life to date would fill a truck load of fire-side stories,an ex-Vietnam veteran in naval intelligence who had never seen the sea to a Nevada rancher who loved to paint,he is wed to a woman who barely comes up to belt buckle but carries a mind as sharp as a whip.Hazel his wife has a PHD in paleontology and has worked in the field from Africa to Wyoming and it was on a field study in Nevada unearthing the largest example of fossil mammoth to have been found in America that she met John..as she has told me "Well he looked big enough to tote those bones and he just sort of hung around".
John and Hazel are becoming almost land-marks in Florence he standing well over 6ft and she barely over 5ft both in cowboy boots and stetson hats,they are photographed as much as Michael Angelo's David.It was Art that brought this mountain-man to Florence and it is Art that has taken him to Prague,Amsterdam,and many other cities in Europe that nurtured great Artists and their work,John's eye always always seeking the key to their talent,this eye that could scan a desert and know where there is water.
John's expanse of humanity is reflected in his work,from his amazing portrait work in oils to his delicate touch in still-life and land-scape studies in water colour and I have had the privelidge of him depicting me in a portrait study and he and Hazel considering me as a friend.
TJ if you could create something special for these two people for me I would be most grateful,as John and Hazel are now my Florentine family and are an important and significant part of my life.I will attempt to send you some more examples of John's work as well as other photos of John and Hazel.They have given me some CDs of a great friend of theirs in New Mexico who's music I think would be appropriate to accompany the video,so TJ if you would bare with me as I attempt to get all this information to you via this "White-man magic"system.
Thank you again.
