I treat the podcasters who play my music the same way I engage the spectators who unwittingly find themselves in the places where I choose to perform.

You’ll take what I give you and like it! is my message. It’s not like there are any other musicians around to entertain you!

As a result, well-trained hosts such as Steve Wheatley of Dalecast were thrilled when I salvaged five songs from my November set at Bill’s Records, the celebrated Dallas retail and concert venue, and dumped them into the Podsafe Music Network.

It’s new to you

The collection includes two previously unreleased tunes, Let Love In and True Love, along with new versions (as if anyone asked for them) of Her Shit Don’t Stink, If They Found Me Dead and I’ll Get Old And Die. All five songs are loaded up in my music player for your enjoyment.

But what’s really cool about these live tracks is they’re not all slick and rehearsed like my studio recordings. They’re, like, really bad, recorded directly from the mixing board, filled with sloppy guitar technique and phlegmy vocal performances.

Best of all, you don’t just get me playing the same old songs the same old way, but you also get to hear me introduce my songs with funny jokes! Jokes such as:

• People say, Ken, you should write a protest song. I tell them, I’m not very political, but I do complain a lot! (I’ll Get Old And Die)
• Time goes by and I realize I’m no longer the ambitious loser I used to be… . (If They Found Me Dead)
• When my time comes, I’m not going. If God wants me, He’s going to have to kill me! (I’ll Get Old And Die)

An old favorite

During one recent stretch of shows, Steve introduced a few of the Bill’s Records tracks, repeated songs from my embarrassing Live at Mayfest set, spun some more songs from Look What I Made! and, as if you could stop him, played (Jerry Lewis) Fly Me To The Moon three more times.

Steve also found the time to turn 48 years old back on October 27, celebrating with a three-hour show featuring 48 of his favorite podsafe songs. Among those songs was Fly Me To The Moon.

The moral? Even funny jokes are no match for a stupid Jerry Lewis impression!
