Will Dockery also made the Big List as a musician and that's extremely
difficult to achieve.
FIRST WORLD TOP 40 LIST! BEST MUSIC LIST in the WORLD!!! (And hardest
to get on!) Never before - or probably never again in history, will
anyone hear such great new music all at once.The internet is the
world's first worldwide JUKEBOX. And this is the first music in that
jukebox. The first OUTSIDE THE BOX set.
Week after week Musea, my 17 year old Dallas art and media zine scours
myspace and youtube for the very best in music from every corner of
the world for the world's first list of new great music. Culled from
thousands, here are the world's best. (Anyone can send me your music.
That includes any kind of music!) Not a CD of a single person, but a
new musical paradigm - a music LIST of the world's best.

Thanks, Tom... glad you dig it.

Ah yes, thanks for finding this... interesting times when we were
heavily influenced by the word-jazz poet Ken Nordine:

"Ken Nordine (born April 13, 1920) is an American voiceover and
recording artist best known for his series of Word Jazz albums. His
deep, resonant voice has also been featured in many commercial
advertisements and movie trailers. One critic wrote that 'you may not
know Ken Nordine by name or face, but you'll almost certainly
recognize his voice.' [...] He attracted wider attention when he
recorded the aural vignettes on Word Jazz (Dot, 1957). Word Jazz, Son
of Word Jazz (Dot, 1958) and his other albums in this vein feature
Nordine's narration over cool jazz by the Chico Hamilton jazz group,
recording under the alias of Fred Katz, who was then the cellist with
Hamilton's quintet.[2] Nordine began performing and recording such
albums at the peak of the beat era and was associated with the poetry-
and-jazz movement. However, some of Nordine's "writings are more akin
to Franz Kafka or Edgar Allan Poe" than to the beats.[3] Many of his
word jazz tracks feature critiques of societal norms. Some are
lightweight and humorous, while others reveal dark, paranoid
undercurrents and bizarre, dream-like scenarios..."
