I didn't want to like the Midnight Stag. I wrinkled my nose when I first unscrewed the lid. There was no way I wanted this stuff touching my face. Now after six shaves I’m a fan. Great lather and unique fragrance.

Have a great day, everybody!

My parents always listened to jazz. I remember seeing Stan Kenton live when I was about six. WDCB is a low power station, so I have to stream if I want to listen.

I grew up in Chicago listening to WDCB. My dad is a professional jazz pianist, still gigging in Chicago. He's 100% on some of the songs that play on WDCB too.

That's really cool to know.

I love low power stations. Is it community radio?
