Ken, I've just come across your work and I'm amazed. You seem to echo all the twists and plosives of the mind itself. I never knew that the quiet intensity of private thought could satisfyingly expressed through the voice. You're a bloody genius.

[kennordine]

thanks,

I persist.

YouTube is the best thing going. Anybody can be on.

it's the democratization of TV.

I've been a fan since 81 when I discovered your Word Jazz shows on the local PBS fm station that aired every Sunday night I believe.I would get some buddies together and sit in front of the speakers and close our eyes and get ready to be taken out of our reality.Oh, that 30 minutes or maybe one hour break once a week was definitely worth the wait. I am glad you are offering these clips on youtube. pLEASE add more!

is ripe for a call

NPR near you

and let me come in

so easily done

Nice piece, Ken. Like many folks, I first came across your work on the NewTek REVOLUTIONS video -- truly genius. A paradigm shift, in fact :)

I am curious if this style of talking with yourself is an invention of your own? Were you brought in for the NewTek video specifically because of this talent? Or were you invited for normal voice over work and you brought in the double-talk?

In any case, love the voice and the style.

[kennordine]

talking to myself talking to myself is the only way I can amend what I say. If I go over board, I can say tsk tsk tsk to filter the

ego. Or I can tell myself..don't be scared, there's nothing to fear but the lack of fear. NewTek videa was fun doing.

I used to lay on the floor and listen to Word Jazz on Wyoming Public Radio back in the mid '80's. The music after the the Word Jazz segments is something I've searched for for years. Used to start off Word Jazz, Word Jazz, do that a few times and get progressively louder...any idea what it is or where it might be? I had all the Word Jazz segments taped until the heat in my storage area warped all the tapes...what a drag.
