  • BEAUTIFUL!!!!

  • So much sentiment in a line like "used to be news". Wonderful.

  • Why, in my yard, indeed?

  • Ken the visuals you put together take your words to a whole nother place!

  • @CadillacL thats the whole idea :)

  • Damn. Ken Nordine still doing it. I haven't heard his voice since his "WORD JAZZ" recordings of a half-century ago, about 1958 or '59, I think it was. I still have the LPs. Hang in there, Ken.

  • I just can't thank you enough for what you do. Sincerely, you are a legend.

  • i love this so much. i think i remember seeing this at the siskel theater years ago but i could be wrong...

  • You are The Greatest !! xoxo

    I would love to collaborate with you....see my colors video...I just started posting on uTube....your "Colors' is one of my fave all time recordings/pieces.....

  • That edge of sleep moment is purely transcendent. The mind (only then) exists in both the waking reality and the timeless dream. Thanks for reMINDing me of that.

  • I loved this piece

  • My new favorite. Very beautiful Ken, thank you for posting.

  • How did Peter Max sneak in... in to your dream?

  • I have something really somewhat brilliant to say, but the words won't contain their enthusiasm and behave as they're told...so I'll wait to see if they settle down. Please know in the meantime that you are helping me to breathe.

  • This one you shared got me thinking...

    my head in my hands...the tell-tale sinking

    awake as an owl

    I'll watch through the night

    your far-outs and ins

    go beyond outta sight.....

    Always a fan....

    Thanx Ken :)

  • Sweet sleep is where we repair our inner energy systems...only way I know to get rid of lactic acid.

    Shaky called sleep 'death's second self'...wish I could

    write like Will did. Or like Jimmy Joyce did.

  • I wish i had your powers.. to fight this insomnia away, to be able to lay; and close my heavy eyes gently, asleep, replete, fully complete, lost in the bliss; without resorting to counting digital sheep.

    Alone in the time space continuum, most immaculate is the power of passion, what can i do with naught but a soldiers ration.

  • Your honor, I confess...the little eight line 5 beats to the line 'maybe the moments' I have accumulated are the defense I have against insomnia. I mumble each line to myself until I have eight, then I write the down on a pad on the night table,

    so something will be there when I wake up. Works...I sleep like a log in a sawmill

    ken

  • maybe i listened

    maybe i heard

    maybe i'm steeped in

    a new word jazz word

  • I think the moment is a longer than a twinkle, but quicker than a wink.

  • Thanks, Ken, brilliant as always.

    Your words always take me miles away, and make me feel right here is alright.

  • I listened to Ken Nordine all the time on the radio when the NPR stations played Word Jazz...had to, as we had no TV. Awesome programs, timeless, and valuable pieces of (performance) art.

    The programs were so good, and sooo underexposed. More people should know about this.
