I'm still learning how to use Firefox in Linux-- Mepis specifically.

I don't know if I know "Skin", though there is one called "Flesh"


Link below fives what is available commercially.

If you want we can arrange for me to make a cd of "Word Jazz and Son Of Word Jazz
from my originals.


I have been fascinated by Ken since I got my first word jazz record when I was...
14 or 15 just into high school I think. I had a freind who lived across the road
from the university here. He or his folks got that record for a dollar when the
student cleaned out the promos at their readio station... I think. Anyway, he
didn't have any use for it so i got it from him for a buck. I have found all the
Nordine I could over the next 41 years. I think his son has brought some of the
old Dot material back.


This is wonderful stuff. And only recently I've heard or connected the work of
Nordine with Norman Corwin who wrote and performed for radio in the 40's
and 50's.


The link below has samples of Ken Nordine's album on Philips called "Colors."
Only recently i learned a bit about how the album got put together. Each color is
90 seconds long. Ken wrote colors for a series of Pittsburg Paint commercials
which never aired.


He is the original buttoned down hipster. Anyone else is just a copy.
