This Is Rock 'n' Roll Radio # 824

"Ladies and Gentlemen, here's the new single from The Monkees."

Ha!  We played it TWICE!  Can't add much to that, can we?  Except to say that we also found time for new music from Laurie Biagini, The Uncommon Houseflies, and The Fox Sisters, and we used all of that along with our proven knowledge of how radio oughtta be to slap together another example of how radio oughtta be.  The Best Three Hours Of Radio On The Whole Friggin' Planet?  Well...yeah!

NEXT WEEK:  Ray Paul joins This Is Rock 'n' Roll Radio!  You can read more about that new Monkees single at Carl's blog, http://carlcafarelli.blogspot.com/2016/04/she-makes-me-laugh-monkees-us-singles.html  And this is what rock 'n' roll radio sounded like on a Sunday night in Syracuse this week.

This Is Rock 'n' Roll Radio with Dana & Carl streams live every Sunday night from 9 to Midnight Eastern, exclusively at www.westcottradio.org
