Hope all is well, "sounds" like you're doing well.

Very cool!

Another grand song sir. Good stuff. Still have yet to wrap my mind around the groove. Oh yeah, speaking of Henry Cow(ell)ish-ness, I've just found Doctor Nerve. Reminds me of a denser Naked City.

I had forgotten how amazing "Song for Paul" and "Broms" are.

Really, really awesome!

Hey man, you're an original...got a nice mention in the Aug Downbeat; it's nice when a writer "gets" what you're trying to do.
Keep rockin' HHH

random comment, don't know if you've ever heard of them, but the band Thinking Plague reminds me of your stuff. Or, I should say the guitarist reminds me of your music. Either, or.

Wow - Zitherman is a rush.
Not at all what the title suggested! Unreal and lovely narration!

I am totally digging your latest work, Mauritania is one of the most cool pieces of music I've heard all year - the moods and textures are really amazing and the slight musique concrete' aspects are eerie as they are evocative. And that ending segment is really something else - the arpeggio section as intro to a dancing Ken lead that ends all too soon. Fabulous.

Dude, Zitherman is insane -- as you are

Nice work, as always

Great stuff once again!

I can't really improve on what Marco stated below.
Zitherman is just so very cool! Great vocs! I look so forward to appearing with you two monsters on GtrOblq! Hey, it's good to see you smiling in a pic Ken, though I'm wondering if that's a sarcastic smile! :-D

take care ,

Ken!

While listening to ZITHERMAN, I waited with GREAT anticipation to what would come after that opening. I knew I'd be in store for something... My goodness it's fantastic! Carl Stalling meets ZITHERMAN!

The Dukes of Hazzard, etc..! I'm in tears.....You are brilliant.

DANSE is just glorious.

And what can I say about MAURITANIA. It's an incredibly powerful piece of music with all the Rubesian staples.. And that ending guitar solo just gives me the chills.

I'm thrilled that we'll be on the new GtrOblq CD together.

You freakin' rock.

Yr pal, Marco

Hey Ken! IT's cool you got new tunes on the page. I hope to come up north sometime later this year. IT would be cool to hang out again. I need you to tudor me on some mathematical music.
I would have to bring the Godin so we could jam big time!

loved the new tune(s). Always inspiring!
The ending of "mauritania" was almost King crimsonesque to my ears.

all the best,

Miss you dude. Hope all is well in OR. I've been on an instrument acquisition spree lately. Finally did a fretless conversion on my Fernandes. Take care brother...Shane

Ah, your page was hacked? No wonder I'm in your top friends! =P

Seriously, without this page, most people wouldn't have a good chance to hear your music. I mean, this is a node, just like your website (another good place to hear your work), that allows people to connect to you. I HOPE there's some connection anyway. I mean, this is how I started talking to you, after all....then again, maybe you should shut down the page. Keeps crazy guys like me at bay. =P

Oh, and I did get your email, and I've listened to it several times. Trust me, it's not my intention to be an ass, but sometimes I happen to walk towards people backwards. I'll get back to you soon on what I think! It's certainly unique.

I eagerly await us being together on the GtrOblq disc. That's a real honor for me.

Happy New Year!
