A couple nights ago the Cohn Zohn had dinner with a couple of the voices of A's baseball - Marty Lurie and Ken Korach. Marty set up the dinner at a nice Japanes restaurant in Scottsdale, a Beni-Hana type place. It was lovely.

The loveliest part however was listening to Ken Korach's voice, which I would describe as honey dripping over a belgian waffle. It's luscious. Just listening to him order off the menu was wonderful. I would listen to Ken read his laundry list. Having a conversation with him made the dinner feel important, as if his words could transform any occasion into a big league atmosphere. I felt like I had to rise to his level of discourse, like I needed to be his color commentator for the dinner. It was thrilling to be the guy that talked after Ken Korach stopped talking, if that makes any sense.

On top of all that, Ken Korach is a real nice guy. He even got his start in Santa Rosa. So he's got that going for him too.
