Picture this…

A group of men, sitting in a converted garage studio, knocking back the suds on a hot Texas afternoon, and talking about their various home handymen projects…

Now picture the men as being blind and visually impaired, and you have the Blind Handyman, with Phil Parr, the creator, producer and host of the show, his compatriots, Don Shaw, Don Patterson and Tom Houston. Together, these men decided to get together to let people know that the blind can accomplish any job, if they have the know-how, and the funds with which to support their projects. The Blind Handyman crew bring you the first of those solutions, and the second one is up to the handyman, blind or not.

Here now is The Blind Handyman, in the hopes of inspiring others the same way they inspired Victor, when he first went blind in 2002. Enjoy, as these four men regale you with tales of their projects and how they accomplished them, and how you can do the same, with just a few tools and confidence.

Whose Blind Life is it Anyway is proud to broadcast these shows again, in their entirety in the hopes that, what they gave Victor hope to get past his blindness, and live a fulfilling life, will inspire others with the same assurance.

The comparable Dennis Day was born Owen Patrick Eugene McNulty, who grew up in the Bronx area of New York City. He first started singing with Larry Clinton for network radio programs which were then aimed at a collegiate audience and often broadcast from a college campus.

Gene McNulty, as he was then known, came to the attention of Mary Livingston, who was then married to Jack Benny, and upon hearing Gene for the first time, she took his recording to Benny, who then flew to New York to audition the young man. Dennis Day was soon brought on-board to the Jack Benny Show, replacing Benny’s tenor, Kenny Baker. He would remain on the Jack Benny Show until Jack Benny’s death in 1974.

In 1944, as so many of his contemporaries did, Dennis Day served in the armed forces, in the United States Navy until 1946, when he returned to his civilian life and returning to the Jack Benny Show, while performing in his Own show, A Day in the Life of Dennis Day, where he played the same character he portrayed on the Benny show.

On this episode of the Afternoon Radio Theater Sundae, Pepsi-Mama brings you Dennis Day’s second attempt at his own show, The Dennis Day Show, or the RCA Victor Show, where Day portrayed an older fictionalized version of his Jack Benny character, using his actual voice and behaving more maturely then he did on the Jack Benny Show.

In her first show, Donna introduces her mental stretch and shares with her listeners the importance of taking care of one's mental health and well being. and it is a strategy that she developed several years ago. It has served well especially so during the Covid era and beyond.

As an advocate, author, coach, dinner mystery writer and producer, law graduate, and podcast commentator, she uses her mental stretch to help her cope with stress and stagnation and even feelings of hyperactivity.

Donna gives examples of when it is necessary to have one of these mental stretches and she shows how these mental stretches can be of whatever duration you choose.

From as little as a few minutes to as long as one needs to relieve the feelings you are looking to evoke.

Donna describes her mental stretch as a strategy based on the m.I.C. principle; clearing the mind and imagination of clutter and cob webs and sparking and stimulating the creative juices.

Donna describes how one can use an individual sense at a time or a combination of senses to carry out the mental stretch.

The sense of hearing, the sense of smell, the sense of touch, and the sense of taste. Individually, and in combination and of course, if you have the capability, add the sense of sight to enhance and bring more power to the mental stretch.

For this month, Donna describes:

Sense of hearing

You can use these suggestions:

White noise

Barking dogs

Crickets

Sense of smell:

All to often, the Meet My Blind Life interviews tend to show that the visually impaired and blind are far too often ill-supported, whether it be in school, at home with parents and siblings, or at work, but very rarely do we get a success story with supports from parents, school peers and teachers and employers, and the interview you are about to hear is such a one.

Danielle Lebat is a Louisiana native who had the kind of support we all wish we had from our parents, and teachers in school, and this story proves that the blind and visually impaired, when given the proper tools and support can function and thrive in most communities.
