  • VERY nice reading. Get outside yourself. What an idea to roll about. Evocative, mesmerizing. When and where was this recorded? Did Ken Nordine write this piece?

  • The William Shatner of jazz poetry

  • Is he doing this from memory or just winging it ?

    If the latter, he is truly enigmatic !

  • who laughs when he says "nervous squirrel" ? lol

    But this is awesome, I love so much of his stuff.

  • Three and a half minutes of pure SEXXX!!!

  • @pandaeyes42 For some reason I always thought he was black too. I guess not. Weird. I used to listen to his show on public radio. Great for zoning out. :-)

  • oh man.. I listened to Ken every week back in the 90's... word Jazz... is a joy to hear

  • when i was a freshman in college, my roommate & i would have a smoke & listen to word jazz on the radio every monday night. with the lights out, of course. mr. nordine is a LIVING legend; the man still walks this earth. keep it cosmic, ken.

  • @gemear2 thanx

  • @alexandrmachen It's called "Don't you wish" off his "Stare with your ears" LP. This version is a lot different, more like his later style. The LP version is a bit more fun and goofy (and still terrific!)
