Anyone a fan of Ken Nordine?

This may not fit in this group, but he doesn't fit anywhere - one of a kind! He is a poet/narrator/word jazz artist from public radio. He is not on any of my stations now, but he has made some CD's which I have, and I am still researching to see if he has podcasts to download. I just found his website last night. I love his offbeat, dreamlike quality, sometimes humorous word and musical "essays/stories/poems/comments".

2. Word Jazz at it's best

"I used to think my right hand was uglier then my left. So I'd punish my right hand, not my left. I used to bite the knuckle of that hand. Because my right hand was so much uglier then my left"

I love his delivery. It's so hep man. The music in the background of many of his works were so smooth.
