Ah, Ken Nordine ... presents ... Ken Nordine ... presents ... p ss t !

His original Word Jazz album was part of my childhood. My favorite was "The Vidiot." Ken's "conversion" at the end of is a lesson on hypocrisy and human weakness.

You are blessed, indeed, by the compliment of his appreciation for your talents. Like minds, Ze ...
