For this week's radio extravaganza, I took a seat on the sidelines and watched with delight and glee as my lovely wife Brenda joined forces with Dana for the first-ever DANA & BRENDA Show! The results of this transmogrifyin' magic appear below. Dana observed the respective 20th and 50th anniversaries of That Thing You Do! and The Monkees' debut album, and mourned the passing of Joan Marie Johnson of The Dixie Cups; Brenda served up heapin' helpings of Freda Payne, The Cowsills, Cheap Trick, Deep Purple, The Doors, Santana, Stevie Wonder, and more. And they both played David Bowie and 76th Birthday Boy John Lennon, celebrating in the aftermath of Saturday night's fabulous BeatleCUSE production Heroes & Lennons at The Palace in Syracuse. We humbly suggest you turn this one up real, real loud.
Our Who Needs Dana & Carl? fundraising gimmick continues on its careening and ricocheting path to enlightenment, fulfillment, and cold, hard cash! Generous patrons who donate $100 or more to our worthy cause at http://sparksyracuse.org/support/ earn the opportunity to program the music for a future episode of TIRnRR. Furthermore, those Guest Programmers who send us their C-notes before October 22nd, 2016, will also be entered into a drawing, with the one 'n' only Grand Prize of programming a specific additional episode: our showstoppin' 850th show! Rules 'n' regs apply, so let's get those Franklins flyin' our way!
This Is Rock 'n' Roll Radio with Dana & Carl streams live every Sunday night from 9 to Midnight Eastern, exclusively at www.westcottradio.org
