For a while years ago I thought he was Val Nordine, because that's what it sounded like on the promos he cut for his programs. When I later heard of Ken Nordine, I figured he must've been Val's son! Then I thought Val was an odd name for a man, so maybe Al.

Only in recent years did I learn that "Rise" wasn't just a thing we remembered from Herb Alpert's awkward disco phase; it had apparently also had a life as the accompaniment to a famous soap opera rape scene, and then became the victim's sort of leitmotif... do I have that right?

What a wonderful tribute this morning to Ken Nordine, Joe. We noticed that his granddaughter, Maya, had tweeted about his passing and asked that people listen to his records today. Replied to say that you had done just that for the entirety of your opening set. All best...

I am sure this will have a far better drum solo than the actual song does, though I assume based on the time left it won't reach the 17ish minutes of the original
