This Is Rock 'n' Roll Radio # 979

Put your hands together. Do what you can to put aside the fear, the doubt, the trouble, the hurt. The hate. We have some music. We can't banish the bad things, but we can sing, we can dance, and we can join hands for as long as this world allows us. Put your hands together. We got a radio show for you.

Oh, and next week's show? At long last, our Featured Performer will be The Cowsills. 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 SPARK! WSPJ-LP 103.3 and 93.7 FM, and on the web at http://sparksyracuse.org/
