I sure hope you like 'em."1st Round Grammy Nominee" Order CD $14.95 [Back to General Store]   1.   Kamikaze Mama   Listen Dial-up Listen High-speed         You've heard of historical fiction? Well, this is fairly close. It's historical B.S.         The time, place, and characters are true, but the event was the result of         an overactive imagination and some bad pizza. 2.   The Cowboy and the Queen   Listen Dial-up Listen High-speed         This one goes by both titles. Sorry. It's a neat story about a little boy that         wants to grow up to be a cowboy, and a little girl that wants to be a queen.         I don't want to spoil it for you, so I ain't tellin' no more. 3.   The Old Diamond O   Listen Dial-up Listen High-speed         Things keep changin', and not always for the better. This is a saga of an end         of an era. An old ranch family can't hold on any longer, and like the red man         and his buffalo, are flattened by the cruel wheels of change. "Progress" wins again.         "Now they're plowing' down the Old Diamond O." 4.   Arnie Ain't a Cowboy   Listen Dial-up Listen High-speed         My old pal, Arnold Hokanson, sold his good herd of Hereford cows a year         or so back, and rented out his ranch. Arnie is also a great poet, an this little         piece was to poke fun at him. Hope you like it. 5.   Home   Listen Dial-up Listen High-speed         A few years ago we were blessed with a new little Granddaughter, Faith Karleen Halingstad,         born here in our old home. Her parents ranch 20 miles or so from a paved road,         and wanted to use a midwife. Our place is only about 25 miles from the hospital,         in case there were problems, so it was a logical choice. The last baby to be born here         was in the 1930s. This is written from the perspective of our old ranch house. 6.   Damned Old Hole   Listen Dial-up Listen High-speed         This one started when I heard some real Irish music, and I liked the lilt so much         I went home and wrote an Irish soundin' song. I also do it as a poem.         It's a story of a hard workin', hard drinkin' Irishman, whose heart was          only hard on the outside. 7.   Arnie's Fuzzy Face   Listen Dial-up Listen High-speed         Just another poke at an old friend. You should just hear the stuff he says about me. 8.   Grandma's Gown   Listen Dial-up Listen High-speed         This is a story about a man with a brother that was severely handicapped from birth.         You can learn from anyone if you just try, and the "normal" brother learned a lot.         This one came to life when I did a benefit a few years ago to raise money for a         home for the developmentally disabled. 9.   The Propane Story   Listen Dial-up Listen High-speed         This one is not only based on fact, but is 100% true. It happened right here on         our place. My dear little bride denies a lot of it, trying desperately to preserve         her image. I think you'll understand why when you hear it. 10. A Cowboy's Christmas Prayer   Listen Dial-up Listen High-speed         I wrote this little piece to include with one of our Christmas cards. It sort of compares         cowboys to cows, and they've really got more in common than you might think. 11. The Mist of the Wild Rose   Listen Dial-up Listen High-speed         I've had more requests for this than anything I've done. It's a fantasy about a cowboy         and an old set of abandoned buildings. It seens they're all over the place out west,         and at one time, all contained families with dreams. Who were they? Where did they go?         Why did they leave? What happened to their dreams?   Silver & Gold This is an all gospel album of songs Ken wrote several years ago when the family was goin' through some pretty tough times. They've been a lot of comfort to many folks through the years. If you, or someone you know, is goin' through some deep water and needs a little encouragement..... this is the one.

Ken does quite a few different styles in concert, and this shows most of them. We've got cowboy music, a little old 50's style rock and roll, a pretty uptown version of "San Francisco," and everything in between. This one is now in CD.
