I was there at Rosemont for those and remember the snow 'storm of the century' that began that night leading to the Richfield cancellation. Those Rosemont shows were tough tickets to find.

Always liked his stuff.
Always liked his stuff. Devout Catalyst is great and features a good Tom Waits cameo, and the Word Jazz series of records are classics. His "Colors" album is an overlooked gem. I always dug "Chartreuse".
Thank you for your art, Ken. RIP.

Bummer! I love his word art. First heard his colors series on the local college radio. Love his butter-bicker-battle story.

They just played a version of flibberty jib on Tales From The Golden Road that was recorded back stage at the Oakland Coliseum with Ken Nordine, Jerry, Mickey and Hamaz El Din. It was remarkable, so I'm remarking.

I knew nothing of him at the time.
Strangely (though I suppose appropriate, considering our community happenings), I was going through Rasputin's clearance CD's last weekend and came upon the "Devout Catalyst" CD. Saw Jerry and David on the back of the cover and picked it up.
Finally listening to it now...
