Some of the creative content on this page represents my effort to come to terms with the end of marriage and the disintegration of my family. As such, I claim and assert the right of free speech through artistic expression. ....That's a legal disclaimer, incidentally.......All songs (c) R. Hunt, Reg'd APRA.., the Australasian affiliate of ..ASCAP... ..........A little about myself........Had a decent run with a couple of bands in Australia and New Zealand. Recorded quite a bit for, with and behind other musicians, too. At heart I'll always be a busker (yeah, the longhair with the Martin D12-35 in my profile photo, circa 1979!). Raconteur. Clown in serious trousers. Children feel safe with me and we get along like a house on fire. Among adults, accounts are varied and conflicting. Been called a lot of different names though I prefer to think of myself as a human being, generally speaking anyway...........On life in the Age of Iron.... ....What I can suggest to you about relationships is pretty simple: straight, gay or indifferent, if you are a woman, be a woman. If you are a man, be a man. The more these distinctions are blurred, the weaker in essential dignity we become as mental defilements progressively obscure the clarity of our original identity. (..Thus it is that during this present dark and corrupted era, all too easily..) Woman becomes the distorted reflex of inferior masculinity, and Man becomes the distorted reflex of inferior femininity. ........To children who may read this page:.. I am not describing the many - perhaps unavoidable - hurts of childhood, as for example when an adult whom you rightfully trust has forbidden you a treat you badly wanted. I would not wish to encourage inappropriate anger on your part.....What I am describing is a person or circumstance which you have approached in innocence, with a child's open heart and open arms, yet have been repayed with cruelty, ridicule, scorn, a blow; abuse.......It is especially important that you mark and hold the line between what is to be accepted, and what is not... You are intelligent beings. I believe you will know what I am talking about. The reason I am writing this down is because nobody told me, when I was your age.......Familiar hurt can become part of a pattern which repeats over time, drawing you into destructive relationships.. with persons who seem to have the knack of opening up the unhealed hurt within you, and feeding on your tears. ......You are born to enjoy bright and happy lives,.. run where old legs can't, find new ways to describe the world and solve its riddles, see new sights and shout for joy at the top of your lungs. ..Your job is to be YOU - and that is someone quite new and precious :0)..........To My Kids: Aandi, Diana, Nadia, Aidan, and Tosh..- regardless of how much our lives have changed since we lived together, my love is with you always. I long to hear your voices and be near you. Be proud of who you are, kids. You are loved so much. You are meant to be here. When shadows fall, you are my bright stars.................A Footnote On Ethics........The motivation one chooses to act (or not to act) upon - whether ignorant and grasping, or enlightened and without attachment to limited outcomes - is equal in importance to actions of body, speech and mind one commits.....This statement does not imply that karma is void.

    Ah ya know, I'm still kicking for the most part.  Hate Western New York, kind of stuck in a rut these days.  It is just not a good place to live in.

Some of the creative content on this page represents my effort to come to terms with the end of marriage and the disintegration of my family. As such, I claim and assert the right of free speech through artistic expression.

That's a legal disclaimer, incidentally.

All songs (c) R. Hunt, Reg'd APRA, the Australasian affiliate of ASCAP.

..A little about myself..

Had a decent run with a couple of bands in Australia and New Zealand. Recorded quite a bit for, with and behind other musicians, too. At heart I'll always be a busker (yeah, the longhair with the Martin D12-35 in my profile photo, circa 1979!). Raconteur. Clown in serious trousers. Children feel safe with me and we get along like a house on fire. Among adults, accounts are varied and conflicting. Been called a lot of different names though I prefer to think of myself as a human being, generally speaking anyway.

..On life in the Age of Iron..

What I can suggest to you about relationships is pretty simple: straight, gay or indifferent, if you are a woman, be a woman. If you are a man, be a man. The more these distinctions are blurred, the weaker in essential dignity we become as mental defilements progressively obscure the clarity of our original identity. (Thus it is that during this present dark and corrupted era, all too easily) Woman becomes the distorted reflex of inferior masculinity, and Man becomes the distorted reflex of inferior femininity.

To children who may read this page: I am not describing the many - perhaps unavoidable - hurts of childhood, as for example when an adult whom you rightfully trust has forbidden you a treat you badly wanted. I would not wish to encourage inappropriate anger on your part.

What I am describing is a person or circumstance which you have approached in innocence, with a child's open heart and open arms, yet have been repayed with cruelty, ridicule, scorn, a blow; abuse.

It is especially important that you mark and hold the line between what is to be accepted, and what is not. You are intelligent beings. I believe you will know what I am talking about. The reason I am writing this down is because nobody told me, when I was your age.

Familiar hurt can become part of a pattern which repeats over time, drawing you into destructive relationships with persons who seem to have the knack of opening up the unhealed hurt within you, and feeding on your tears.

You are born to enjoy bright and happy lives, run where old legs can't, find new ways to describe the world and solve its riddles, see new sights and shout for joy at the top of your lungs. Your job is to be YOU - and that is someone quite new and precious :0)

To My Kids: Aandi, Diana, Nadia, Aidan, and Tosh- regardless of how much our lives have changed since we lived together, my love is with you always. I long to hear your voices and be near you. Be proud of who you are, kids. You are loved so much. You are meant to be here. When shadows fall, you are my bright stars.



..A Footnote On Ethics..

The motivation one chooses to act (or not to act) upon - whether ignorant and grasping, or enlightened and without attachment to limited outcomes - is equal in importance to actions of body, speech and mind one commits.

This statement does not imply that karma is void. To the contrary, motive and consequence are inseparable: the motive underlying any volitional act is inherent to that act, just as the act is inseparable from its consequence. This is 'inseparability of cause and result'.



The narcissist's song-and-dance is the danse macabre after all. Only a narcissist would think otherwise.



Emperor, your sword won't help you out
Sceptre and crown are worthless here
I've taken you by the hand
For you must come to my dance




Life continues in spite of the cruelty of the few. Just as night turns to day, unhappy circumstances will not last forever.

Aidan and I, not long ago.. Willow Grove, September 1992.


The happiest gang in town, South Street, June 1999.



My daughters, just a little while ago.. Willow Grove, April 1999.



In September 2003, my wife had the locks of our doors changed to continue a longstanding affair unhindered. In this way, custody of our children was seized and I was made homeless. Quite a coup.

Although joint custody was established early in 2004, communication and visitation with my children continues to be problematic. I do hope and pray constantly that this will resolve soon.
