I use to do a morning show on the radio. 102.5 wmxe in hillsdale michigan. We were hot AC format playing best hits and best variety. I'd step out of format and play the pumpkins. "for my own personal consumption I'd tell my listeners. I turned them on to the pumpkins.

  I think it's what I was trying to do by putting my poems on top of pumpkins music. Some people put their nose up to the smashing pumpkins. Stero typing. Well I have something I think they'll listen to. E-mail them the link to bobjenkens remixes and see if they don't become a pumpkins fan.

I've done 12 tracks using 29 of my poems over pumpkin music beds. For my own personal consumption. Mine and Zoe's, the other day at a drive through window I asked the young lady. Did she like the pumpkins. She said she'd never really listened. I hit eject pulled out my cd and gave it to her. She's now turned on to the pumpkins.  As we were pulling away, My five year old asked me. "you gave away our pumpkins?". "you got more at home right dad?". yeah Zoe we have more pumpkins.

I have a poem called clear skies and strars. It's typed out on my profile on this site.  I've been working with Zoe on putting it n top of pumpkins music for moms day. only don't tell mom. were using by starlight.

I remember that show. The pumpkins were the only cool jams played. Musta been Crappy Management. Anyway, I love the poems and really dig the song choices for them. Keep up the good work and I'll Spread the word.

just signed up, but thought id post a reply to this. You know we're all out there--from the copier sales associate to the Dad at Tibb's shoppin for some goodies for the kiddo...

But I once knew a fella named Bob that touched my heart when I discovered he shared my love for punkins. What a coincidence that I used to listen to Bob and think about stars, the moon, life.. the universe and everything that could be or never might....

Good luck to you friend...

Lanie Sunshine? "how you doing"? on the forum I posted the pumpkins show we went to as my favorite concert. I checked out your space. I forgot about the girl who's bf got kicked out. I think we kept her with us and found her boyfriend outside after the show. I see you posted one of my poems to.
Did you hear the poem I wrote you (pretend) on the "inside your love" remix? I have a cd for you young Lanie. but i know I don't have to try and make you a pumpkins fan.

I guess i do have the adress. did you read my Cinderella Pumpkin story poem? (blog)just wrote that. it's how my life is going. 12 hours on a hip barn roof today. sunburn. it's great but i think at least twice i said out loud "i gotta get a radio job". how's about I keep a cd for you in my truck. may be faster than the U.S postal service the way we keep being in the same place at the same time. and i don't know that you should have put your adress up there like that. silly
