It's been way too long since the last one, but finally, here is a new "It's a Beautiful Day for Living!" program. Most of you know of my injuries suffered in January since I wrote about it, but in this program I tell the story.
I hope you enjoy the show, and please don't be shy about sharing this and let more people be able to hear it.
I'm learning what it's like to be really self-employed with no income. I took a week's vacation, unplanned, but now I'm back. So here is our first IBD effort of 2024. I will clear up that little trivia question I asked a few programs back. Anthony will be hanging on every word.
Enjoy the show!
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY! We came so close to not making it with this promised program for Christmas Day, 2023. It's a bit of a story, and is included in the program itself.
I hope you enjoy this special Christmas edition of IBD!
I finally got the IBD Roving Microphone rolling, and this program is the result of it. If you're looking for special singers for an event, look no further. I will be glad to book them for you.
Actually, Beautiful Day Radio went to an actual radio station and got the gang at Radio Keokuk, KOKX, to sing a Christmas greeting. I do believe you will enjoy this one.
It's been a week; a tough week I might add, since our last IBD program was produced. I explain why on this one, and we have a little fun with trivia regarding the accompanying video. Find out how observant you are.
Enjoy our seventh new "It's a Beautiful Day for Living!" show airing for the first time on Friday, December 15, 2023.
Hey Gang! It's time we get another "It's a Beautiful Day for Living" program up and running, and have some fun with those who have been around for a long time, me being one of them.
This program, being aired for the first time on Friday, December 8, 2023, features some neat thoughts for those of us in our 60's to 90's, and will lay the groundwork for some fun in future programs.
So I ask, do you know someone you would like to hear singing on our program? This show will tell you how to perhaps make that work.

Enjoy the show!
I'm now really happy I didn't make too big of a commitment with this project, as last week got away from me before I could produce another program. I'm trying to present one or two per week.
But I got back to work now, even updating the accompanying video to winter, which arrived suddenly this past weekend. And after sharing last week's program on Linda's and my regular home page, and it producing some folks hearing the show, I now think I will do that regularly.
Here is Episode #5, a program about virtually not much. But I hope you enjoy it, and that you have a true Beautiful Day for Living!
It's hard to believe we are less than one week from Thanksgiving. That fact startled me as I recorded this fourth program in our current IBD Series. I share some great childhood memories about the big day in this program. Mary Lou is gonna hear her name if she listens. I hope you enjoy this Beautiful Day broadcast.
For those who were regular listeners to "It's a Beautiful Day for Living" on radio, one look at the date on the calendar should tell you why we waited until today to share the third program in our revived series of IBD programs. Any questions? Just listen to the beginning of this show.
To this day I don't remember what I had been doing the evening before, but one morning, when my DJ program started at 9:30, I had overslept and was STILL sleeping when the hour came. Dick Partridge, ending his "Contact" program played my opening theme song like usual, and then...nothing! Total silence on the air. Finally someone looked in the studio at an empty chair. When a broadcaster messes up that badly the whole community knows it. I thought I would never hear the end of it.
Well, today I must admit I missed another scheduled airtime. But this time I'm covered, because I said I would have a new "It's a Beautiful Day for Living" program once or twice a week. But I planned this to be ready for broadcast on Tuesday and didn't make it. However, if I hadn't told you that you'd not know it. So just pretend I didn't tell you, and instead I just said: Here is the second program in our new "It's a Beautiful Day for Living" series, ready to roll this Wednesday, November 8, 2023. I hope you enjoy it and will invite others to tune in.
Here it is, the first program in our new series "It's a Beautiful Day for Living for an Old Guy." It was brutal producing the broadcast, as I am way out of practice. I messed it up three times, and the fourth time, which is the one presented here, I really messed up the closer and had to do some nutty ad-libbing. I was so upset I fired myself. But that means I have a chance to be reinstated. I hope you enjoy listening anyway, and good luck on the trivia questions.
I have developed the second IBD program for late 2022, with a Christmas theme, and a trip down Memory Lane. Judy Pike and Amy Pike entertain you with their wonderful singing and tremendous senses of humor. We are celebrating Amy's Birthday on Monday, December 5, 2022 when this program was recorded. Enjoy!
Okay! People have been asking what I am going to try to do with Beautiful Day Radio, and here's your answer.
This is a new format for an old radio show, "It's A Beautiful Day for Living!" This first show features an interview with Joe Shuman, who is the gentleman who oversees "The City of Christmas" in Keokuk. Please enjoy the interview, and if you can, respond to the need Joe has to help him get everything ready for Thanksgiving night.
