Howling Monk dot com aspires to be your favorite internet hang-out. Like a hip neighborhood coffeehouse, you drop by, check things out, get involved or just chill out. Stay as long as you like. The doors are always open with lots of coming and going. So don't be surprised to find that what's here today is gone tomorrow. The most important thing to know is, you're always the most important person in the room!

Who am I?

I'm Ken  Moore, the owner of Howling Monk. Mostly, I'm into books, art, music, and good coffee. 

The name "Howling Monk" is a tribute to legendary bluesman Howling Wolf, to jazz genius, Thelonious Monk and to all people who use their time, energy, talent; indeed whatever they have, for good. Howling Monk personifies the mission to promote what Duke Ellington called a "jazz state of mind." That means seeking inspiration in ones creative expressions with the goal of bettering the community-at-large.

With your help; with your frequent visits, and with your purchases of Howling Monk Coffee along with our other products and services, the Howling Monk mission can be fulfilled. 

With this, the first posting of the year, updates will now be monthly. The content will remain eccentric because that keeps things lively. So please dig in today and come back tomorrow for some more.

Finally, I ask you to send a link to your friends and to leave your e-mail address above. That way you'll be notified of all updates, etc. Thanks and good wishes. Peace!
