Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a pleasant night.

The theme for today's "Morning Music" is rain. What's left of TS Beta is moving through and it's been raining since yesterday at 5pm. We could get up to 4". So here's a couple from the soggy south. Hope you enjoy!



Great shave today! The Fine soap and splash are almost an exact match to the AoS frag.

Hope you have a great day!

Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a pleasant night.

Well it's "Fusion Friday" here at WMRK Internet Radio and I wanted to feature a band I've been listening to for a very long time. The band's called Tribal Tech and the bassist, Gary Willis is a beast on the instrument! So from their 1995 album Reality Check, here's a three song selection to finish out the week!




Great shave to finish out the week. Looking forward to some SEC football tomorrow! It's finally here!! 😁 😁 😁 🏈

Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a great weekend.

In a "Funky Monday" mood this morning so here's a couple to get you going! Hope you enjoy!



Great shave today! First time in a long time I've used a legit shaving cream and not a soap or "croap". Surprisingly the cream in the tube was still in good shape, not dried out and not watery. Great face feel afterward also.

Hope you have a great day!

Super Fly album, so cool!! We lived in South Africa from 1978-1982. The last weekend we were there in May/June 1982, we stayed at The Towers hotel in Johannesburg before we came back to the USA. Who stayed on the same floor as us but The Curtis Mayfield Band? They had played at a resort in Sun City. You know band guys, they were up all night after their show. I talked to a couple of the band members on the elevator the next morning. They thought it was cool that we had previously lived in Huntington Beach; said they had hung out at an old club there many times (The Golden Bear where I saw Paul Butterfield Blues Band w/ Mike Bloomfield/Elvin Bishop and Ten Years After, their first US tour). These guys were from Chicago, and it was fun to talk with them about their impressions and our experiences after we had been living there for 4 years. Very cool posting of Freddie's Dead. (y)
