As I lounge at 1:14 a.m. this Sunday night, I should note to everyone, especially the Wash U. kids, that none of you are true St. Louisans unless you've listened to Gabriel for at least an hour or two. Gabriel plays "blues, oldies, and the holy blues for you and yours" Sunday nights on community radio station KDHX 88.1 FM from 12:30 a.m. to 5:30 a.m., and every week, it's 5 of the most sublime hours of radio out there. Gabriel's been broadcasting in St. Louis since the 1960s or so, and played trumpet around the community for awhile, and as a result, the man is a walking encyclopedia of amazing old blues, soul, and gospel music. Even if you're outside of St. Louis, you can still listen online.

Even the bumpers are brilliant.
