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. :-)

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!)
Ken is THE BEST, and a living legend. He MUST be recognized NOW, TODAY, for the national treasure he truly is. Let's not wait until we eulogize him to recognize his immense contribution - please!!
