the essence of S by ken nordine

[kennordine]

I am afraid it was real, I still do a kind of introspective radio that is meant to act as a catalyst for wandering in wonder. God love your memory.

This is sublime.

Listening to all your work again reminds me of coming upon your radio pieces in the late 50's. Searching the static with my father's big 8 band radio, discovering waves of strangeness in my little bedroom in Ohio.

...now invoking and evoking once again the visceral vestiges planted in that 9 yr. old brain all that time ago.

Was it real or am I making this up?

[kennordine]

Lady Donegan...thanks for the kind words...and tell CadillaL that I did the alphabet

some years to a reggae beat..in which A was a two story tent..

[LadyDonegan]

I love "S" and not just because my name begins with it, but it dose help

[CadillacL]

Did Ken ever do the whole alphabet?

neon brown. not new or old; the ad hoc post haste drab red brick facade, ripples in reaction and ratchets up the retention of bombarding particles...

it's elementary they say, but words do not justice to colors that i See,&SO I say, that it now just may seem to be a little obscene, doctors and teleprompters, rush to the scene but dare not to take a picture, the only way to herd me to pasture, reduce your impressions to fracture the transactions, capture the past actions and reactions.neon brown.

I wish i could spend my life ingesting the auditory treat which is Mr. Nordine!

Thanks for succint review:

E A Poe and Edward Lear were also alliterative addicts

like getting home to Helen had poor Poe writing

"....The weary, way-worn wanderer bore to his own native shore" even End Rhyming: face with grace ( ss with sss)

Sensational, superb, stupendous, sadly so short. Still, satifies senses.

[jimsonIL]

Don't stop your videos work so well with your words. Have been a fan since the npr days of "Word Jazz".....truly appreciate your work.  Thank you for your contribution.

[kennordine]

S is done, do I dare do F? Fricative F full fathom five fakes a look of floral coral reefs, the effing F of F challenges the effing frontal lobes...ffffing ffffong ffffell my ffffather lies. Ffffineluctible offf the ffffisibile...Fcetera

Say, this song swings, silently soothing my serious sensations and sensibilities and slaps aside the stigmas and stamens of strenuous sonorous seriousness and sends silly syrups slithering astride these synapses.

[Ahernia0]

What song is it that has the lyrics "I had discovered a great secret. That everyone loves themselves more than they love anybody else. And if I wanted them to love me I better be like them. And it worked!"?

[kennordine]

Universal Music has a box set of my 'word jazz'...called "you're getting better" The 4 Dot Masters...from the years 1957 to 1961. Think it was called The Confession of a Social Security number.

using several software programs created by UISOFTWARE...

namely ArtMatic and VTrack...also with Protools LE...and Photoshop.

Should you suppose that sadness has sovereignty, spend a second sussing something elsssssssse.... the singing, the dancing, the beautiful surprise. :-)

[kennordine]

Sadness is too sad for me. I try to take the sadness out of me and think about something else, anything to make me and my pals giddy glad, I try to be like young brother Manning and the fantastic under dog win over The Patriots...cheering us all up. Saint Patrick is only 18 days away. have a good one

noisssss...

[WOMP2007]

thank you Ken.

[kennordine]

thanks for the thanks,

ken

[BrianShaneRushton]

It's like a crazy dream.

[kennordine]

that's what I have been trying to do, simulate the amazing way dreams crazily slip about in the willy nilly logic that only dreams seem to follow.

spectacularly splendid sundae tout suite

[marquisdejolie]

love it! I'm an 'A' man myself.

[kennordine]

Enjoyed the A trip. I know a guy who lives in an A, (it's a two story tent that dreams of becoming an A frame)

Thanks for your apt response to 'the essence of S'

[marquisdejolie]
