Details on the Haiti Project

Hey friends,

So Like many of you i'm sure you are aware of the devastating disaster in Haiti this past week.

Like many of you i think alot of us want to get involved in changing the world around us but don't know how or think we are incapable. We see other people who seemed to have the right connections or who give their life to a cause and we can easily get the impression that a life commitment is required to do such things.
Honestly, my life goal is to change this world and impact this world for the better.
Most of you know i have been fortunate to travel the world and see some of the most heartbreaking situations and places. I have learned so much about other cultures and how people of the world live in comparison to how we do.

Someday, i plan on making more of personal impact than writing a check. But God has challenged me since this disaster while i'm stuck in America to be creative with how i impact the world. This is my current situation:
Right now i'm a recent college grad, broke no money, starting this music project and career. Like many people i've been lately stuck in the rut of a mindset that "i'll make an impact later".

We'll i've decided even in my need i'm going to help people who are in a greater need. "What you did to the least of these you did for me". So i would encourage you even if you don't have money help people around you, for we all have more then most people of this world, especially those in Haiti.

Here is my plan:

So half of all sales i make for this month i'm going to donate to relief efforts in haiti. It might not be much but i want to challenge people to be creative in their fundrasing, make it a personal life changing action not merely a single check written to take a tax break. I want others to be creative in their own mediums and figure out how they can help. My Uncle told me he is giving 50 cents of every bottle of olive oil he sells to the efforts. I want people to think out side the box and make helping people a lifestyle choice not a mere obligation or action of duty.

I'm in the process of working on the album and have been thinking about organizations i want to support when it is released so if you have any suggestions send them my way, and lets all make our lives purpose to help others, give your time, talents and resources.

See...by supporting my music and my career you are going to change lives by just clicking play. So spread the word about your Piano Rock n Roll friend from Missori

Here is the link to the organization the money is going to. I have personal connection with them. They have been in haiti long before this diaster and will remain long after. 100% of money sent to them will go where it needs to.

here are links to get the music

I-TUNES http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/demo-09/id319972864

CDBABY http://www.cdbaby.com/Artist/JacksonTylerHunt

*Side note, i-tunes is the most user friendly but cdbaby takes the least off top so more funds go to artist through them which means more funds available haiti but feel free to choose which ever you like. Much rather you help support it then not.

Love you all, help me love the world

Sincere Flattery

So last night my one of my best friends and his brother decided to dress up like me and my brother for Halloween. I was flattered that i was a notable figure in their heads. I can't decided if its a good or a bad thing that its apparently obvious how to dress like me because i'm so crazy. But i choose to be distinguishable so i guess it works. Crazy socks, cool ties, and Italian oh it was perfect. To top if off Weston carried around a piano and was singing "Dance Dance" bragging about how it was is on I-tunes.

The saying goes imitation is the most sincere form of flattery so thanks Weston. So if anyone else every dresses up like me for Halloween (which is apparently quite easy) send me a pic so i can post it because it cracks me up. Have a safe Halloween weekend


Much love

All you need to know in order to navigate through missouri

I came across this picture that my friend jessica took. It tells you everything you need to know in order to navigate through the great state of missouri

Just remember folks springfield is the center of country, its whats happening (way cooler the stl, in order to head success you don't go stl).
***Fact if you throw a dart at the map of america springfield would be the most likely place you'll hit!

enjoy another day

Piano stairs

I wanted to share this with you because i really fascinated me. My friend lauren sent me this link so i thought i'd share it with you.

This apparently is an initiative by Volkswagen to increase fun (something tells me they have a lot of money)but as much as i dont' like supporting frivolous spending this act encourages stair taking which I personally am a huge fan of.

Here is the link

My only question is did somebody not have music background and try and least walk in thirds or something tonal? But if i'm ever in Sweden i'm hitting this up.

Oh and I am going to some picks tonight of the piano for everyone and post them. And be praying for the band we have a big audition Monday i'll let you know about it later.

enjoy your Sunday, i'm going to make a lesson plan before we practice.

New Toy

Hey so i know i don't blog often enough but i will make this a better habit. Especially after i graduate...oh so close now. But what i wanted to update all the fans on was the acquisition of my new toy! (pics soon to follow) For the past few years i have wanted to personalize my own piano and i finally have achieved it.

I have been scouring craigslist for a free piano (bwt i will always take donations) and i was let down. Usually craigslist if flooded with available piano but lately its been scarce but i finally found what i was looking for. A piano in moderate shape, lower end, that is small and light as possible. "This piano fits in my van" crazy. So i did pay for this one but i will say i got an incredible deal. For the past two days me and my friend Lauren have painted it. I cannot say how excited i was to get my paint on. I literally walked out of home depot in such a state of glee. Speaking of the depot (lowes is better, only shop at lowes unless you buy paint. Behr brand is the best at HD) the paint guy couldn't believe me and demands i have to bring in pictures hahhaha so hopefully they'll display it.

But yes, i decided on a lime green piano. I have to say this has only inspired me for more so hopefully i'll get to do this again and i'll let the fans vote on a color, have a fan piano. I am just really digging this personalize thing its way cool and i'm excited for everyone to see it. My plan is to use it as a practice piano and play it live as much as possible.

That is the news in the jackson camp for friday october 23. More to come soon hope you enjoy this. love ya
