THIS IS ROCK 'N' ROLL RADIO # 965

I have a cold. Dana has, I think, Kryptonite poisoning. But we're still here in the studio, intent on building another stirring, sterling example of The Best Three Hours Of Radio On The Whole Friggin' Planet. We'll bid farewell to the late Sara Romweber of Let's Active, we'll spin new music from The Well Wishers and Vanilla, we'll welcome recent releases from The Wag, Deanna Lynn Campbell, and Sybil to our little Play-Tone Galaxy O' Stars, and we'll turn it up with the sounds of whatever else we fancy in the moment, from Aretha Franklin to The Ramones. We're weak now. We'll get stronger. We have a soundtrack. 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, Sunday nights from 9 to Midnight Eastern, on the air in Syracuse on The Spark WSPJ-LP 103.3 and 93.7 FM, and on the web at http://sparksyracuse.org/
