WIGL radio was a daytime Top-40 music station covering the Duluth-Superior market from 1961 to 1964. I am a collector of radio jingles, and have many from WEBC and a couple of early WAKX ones. However, WIGL has been elusive. I e-mailed Lew Latto about it (who owned the station for a while), and he regretfully replied that he was unable to help me. I know some people taped the radio back then (I did) — maybe there’s an aircheck out there with a WIGL jingle or two. I remember they had purple promo signs on the backs of the city buses during that era, and their jingles always ended with “Wiggle!!!” Posting this in case somebody is unknowingly sitting on a piece of Duluth-Superior broadcasting history.
Lions&Creators just released their album in Duluth on Saturday and now the whole thing is up to stream on our Bandcamp, which is here. You can buy it there for only $5! (and it comes with a few extra surprises too). Physical copies will be available at The Electric Fetus soon. All hand made, designed by the band.

I saw a poster today for an old (25 years!) Roland electric upright piano for sale. Full-size keyboard, model HP 5500/5600. I tried to research online, but of course, these things just ain’t around anymore. Anyone familiar?
I’d love a real piano, but just don’t have the space right now, though I bet for just a bit more money I could get something much better sounding? Advise, fair Duluthians. Thanks!
I’m new to Perfect Duluth Day and my roommate told me he got some good discussions when he brought up his electronic music endeavors). I’ve been messing around with a few production programs for a while now and I’m always looking for people interested to talk shop with. Any critiques or general comments would be awesome, but opportunities to swap techniques and explore possible collaborations are always on my radar as well. If any of my songs are up your alley, get after me and let’s pump out some tunes together!
Take a listen, and I hope you enjoy it!
P.S.
I also DJ with a collective called the Crunchy Bunch. We’ll be playing at the Rex Bar in Fitger’s this Wednesday, and on Friday, Oct. 7. We play all kinds of music, so if you like to dance to loud stuff come check us out!
Have you ever seen Duluth
when the Great Lake waves were pounding?
There must be some way out of there
You might end up lost or drowning
And the polkas at the Polish dance halls
And the carnivals of Spring
Rock and roll on that upright piano
And the kids make the high school rafters ring
