Grandpa Daniel Radjenski

I never really considered what my Grandpa Danny would have thought about my poems.
My close friends know I write poetry. I share what I'm writing. And they either enjoy it or do a good job faking.
I've seen my friend Kurt pick up my composition book. All written in pencil and read it from start
to end. Allot of projects in work. He watches how I change and edit.
 I would imagine Grandpa Danny could have pictured me on a roof. And taken pride that I took
his advise and learned a trade. With the personality I have. I had allot of fun on the radio working
with my listeners. I had an obligation to them. School closings, weather information, food drives,
Public service announcements but more importantly I wanted to make them smile. I had a woman who called me on more than one occasion and asked me "do you gotta be so happy"? "can't you just shut up and play music"? Have to do a special happy birthday break for her. I had an old dodge truck that use to break down every day. I use to open up my mic and talk about how I ran 2 consecutive 4 minute miles to get to work on time. But I laughed about it. One of my listeners donated a car to me. I hit more deer with that car then at hunting.
 Grandpa Danny couldn't read and I'm not to sure he would have let me just read something to him.
But even if he could read a little bit. He couldn't read it the way I wrote it. To get the emotion and feeling

I had when I wrote it. But if could have handed him a CD he would have listened to that..
At the radio station we produced our own commercials. We used a cool edit pro program that I got
pretty good at. I selected a few of my poems and I recite the poem and I put down a music track under
neath my reciting. This "shower of rain" is a nice piece.
