Today we celebrate David Noeth for doing something extraordinary the old-fashioned way: showing up, week after week, and making Sunday morning special.
Music fades in. David takes the microphone. The familiar Sunday ritual begins once more, this time carrying the weight of 300 consecutive broadcasts.
“My name’s David, and it’s a pleasure to be with you during another Sunday sunrise.”
Good morning, Northeast Ohio. This is WKHR Bainbridge, Cleveland, 91.5 on your FM radio—and good morning to the world, streaming live on WKHR.org.
My name’s David, and it’s a pleasure to be with you during another Sunday sunrise.
It is currently 7:02 on Sunday, July 26, 2026, and 64 degrees outside the WKHR studio in Bainbridge Township. Today we had a sunrise here in Bainbridge at 6:13, and we’ll have a sunset this evening at 8:50, for a day length of 14 hours and 36 minutes. That is 13 minutes shorter than it was last week.
I started the show off this morning, as I usually do, with Irving Berlin’s “It’s a Lovely Day Today.” So whatever you’ve got to do, you’ve got a lovely day to do it in. Please be sure to take WKHR along with you on your radio and online.
This is the last Sunday of July, so it is my finale Sunday, where we wrap up our look at that 1949 Broadway musical, with music and lyrics by Irving Berlin, Miss Liberty. The show is set in New York and Paris in 1885. It deals with a rivalry between two newspapers in the search for the model who posed for the Statue of Liberty.
I’m going to get the opening set started this week with Frank Sinatra in a duet with Dorothy Kirsten, and it is entitled “Let’s Take an Old-Fashioned Walk.” This is from a live radio broadcast, and this is a tune from that musical.
