This Is Rock 'n' Roll Radio # 880

Among the many joys of doing this show is that Dana and I can show up on Sunday nights, without much (or, sometimes, anything) planned, and just go. This week, I'm writing this introductory paragraph during our first set, so I don't even know what we're doing yet. I guess I could sneak a peek at the playlist below, but what fun would that be? I know we're gonna play new music from Jamie & Steve, Dana's gonna play a bunch of stuff he got while on vacation this past week, and I'm sure we'll play a lot of shiny gems from our own forthcoming compilation CD This Is Rock 'n' Roll Radio, Volume 4. The rest? The path to glory isn't mapped out; you just start heading in that general direction, and you'll get there soon enough. 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 Sunday nights from 9 to Midnight Eastern, exclusively at www.westcottradio.org
