Old-time ambience, Old-time music

Nothing much ever changed at the barber shop, it seemed.  During the years I went there, 1975 to 1990, every aspect of the shop felt like a relic.  Whenever I walked in, I saw the same barbers, the same chairs in the same order, the same gumball machine, and the same dispenser from which customers could buy soda in glass bottles.

It was only fitting, then, that the radio was always tuned to WEW or WRTH.  When every aspect of your business has a throwback vibe, it just makes sense that you'd have a big band or music-of-your-life station playing.
