That last track sounded so much like tarkus by Emerson lake and palmer

hah hadn't thought abt this but listening to it rn it really does hehe

i love emerson lake palmer

This reminds me of Ken Nordine's Word Jazz.

Also reminded me of Scott Johnson's John Somebody.

Ken Nordine also did Taster's Choice coffee commercials.

This guy really sounds like Nordine.

wait mike you are so right

i just started listening to the word jazz album the actually sound the same

I really like this!

i was going to say 'possible reincarnation?' but looking into it i think it is actually ken nordine talking in this release

that's such a good catch hehehe

@ 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 ... )

Vary similar to Joe Frank also

That makes sense.I just googled it. Ian Whalen, the guy behind this, is a reording engineer.

recording

Frank and Nordine inhabit the same space.

Their influence will be appreciated in Jon's Xmas Marathon.

@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?

@ǝɹnɔsqꓳ ǝɥꓕ ǝʌɐꓷ is there a specific album it is similar tooo?

or did frank actually record any albums hmmm

Joe Frank had a longtime syndicated radio show. Not sure about available recordings. Number 6 would know.

TURSHU!!!!

MICHAELLLLL!!!!!

whats goin on!

also - dave yep i looked into it i think there's an archive but im checking it out!

michaellll alll good :) just chilin w some jazz

hehe i love how the first course of action is turning on the radio

viuuuuuuu

woke up to your set blasting through my tv!

and my first thought was i hope richards not missing this blessed turshu set

im sooooo glad

awwww hasdhashh i had the exact same thoughts while i was doing my show - richard would love some early day jazz

No such thing as a bad Joe Frank episode. A master at the art of storytelling.

bye turshu have a good day!

that's just beautiful i really want to listen to archival recordings

see ya mike!!
