This Is Rock 'n' Roll Radio # 838

It's back! The annual This Is Rock 'n' Roll Radio tradition called Dana's Funky Soul Pit returns, all set to move every corpuscle in your poor, poor body to the funk, the soul, and the rhythm & blues, and to all of the irresistible music playing on your radio. Grab a beverage, and grab your partner--this dancefloor won't fill itself!

NEXT WEEK: RADIO WORTH PAYING FOR! As we try to raise the raw bread we need to transition to a second home on the local FM dial, we wanna demonstrate why we're worthy of all that hard-earned cash we need you to fork over to us. $100 donors get to program a future show! You can start donating right now at our money-grubbing site http://sparksyracuse.org/support/ IN TWO WEEKS: On September 11th, the eve of the five-decade mark since the debut of their TV series, TIRnRR celebrates 50 YEARS OF THE MONKEES! And this is what rock 'n' roll radio sounded like on a Funky Soul Pit 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
