That last track sounded so much like tarkus by Emerson lake and palmer
DJ Esque (host) 3:25:48 PM
hah hadn't thought abt this but listening to it rn it really does hehe
DJ Esque (host) 3:26:12 PM
i love emerson lake palmer
Mike Tropiano 3:28:04 PM
This reminds me of Ken Nordine's Word Jazz.
Mike Tropiano 3:28:34 PM
Also reminded me of Scott Johnson's John Somebody.
Mike Tropiano 3:29:07 PM
Ken Nordine also did Taster's Choice coffee commercials.
Mike Tropiano 3:29:40 PM
This guy really sounds like Nordine.
DJ Esque (host) 3:30:11 PM
wait mike you are so right
DJ Esque (host) 3:31:02 PM
i just started listening to the word jazz album the actually sound the same
Mike Tropiano 3:31:07 PM
I really like this!
DJ Esque (host) 3:33:01 PM
i was going to say 'possible reincarnation?' but looking into it i think it is actually ken nordine talking in this release
DJ Esque (host) 3:33:15 PM
that's such a good catch hehehe
Richard of Rocky Hill 3:33:50 PM
@ DJ Esque (host) Plasmodium's "Clive Buckledown" is a hoot! (And probably out of someone's real life, so maybe not all that happy hooty ... )
𓀠 ǝɹnɔsqꓳ ǝɥꓕ ǝʌɐꓷ 𓀡 3:34:08 PM
Vary similar to Joe Frank also
Mike Tropiano 3:34:41 PM
That makes sense.I just googled it. Ian Whalen, the guy behind this, is a reording engineer.
Mike Tropiano 3:34:54 PM
recording
Mike Tropiano 3:36:03 PM
Frank and Nordine inhabit the same space.
Mike Tropiano 3:36:47 PM
Their influence will be appreciated in Jon's Xmas Marathon.
DJ Esque (host) 3:37:12 PM
@Richard of Rocky Hill it's such an interesting narrative it feels like there's someone right there talking to me - but could it actually be real?
DJ Esque (host) 3:38:13 PM
@ǝɹnɔsqꓳ ǝɥꓕ ǝʌɐꓷ is there a specific album it is similar tooo?
DJ Esque (host) 3:39:12 PM
or did frank actually record any albums hmmm
𓀠 ǝɹnɔsqꓳ ǝɥꓕ ǝʌɐꓷ 𓀡 3:59:00 PM
Joe Frank had a longtime syndicated radio show. Not sure about available recordings. Number 6 would know.

MF Doomker 4:59:28 PM
No such thing as a bad Joe Frank episode. A master at the art of storytelling.
