THIS IS ROCK 'N' ROLL RADIO Flashback: DANA'S FUNKY SOUL PIT # 2



Continuing a look back at the earliest editions of DANA'S FUNKY SOUL PIT. We re-visited the first Soul Pit yesterday; today, we set our Boppin' Wabac Machine to June 23rd, 2013 for DANA'S FUNKY SOUL PIT # 2.

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/

Hello again from Dana & Carl and THIS IS ROCK 'N' ROLL RADIO, the self-described Best Three Hours Of Radio On The Whole Friggin' Planet.  We sez so, sez we.  And for this week's edition, Dana took over all of the music programmming for the long-awaited second annual edition of DANA'S FUNKY SOUL PIT!  While Carl concentrated exclusively on smartass comments--yes, like most other weeks--Dana programmed an invigmoratin' selection of deep-fried soul, blues, funk, reggae and/or R 'n' B, and the world had no choice but to swing and sway along.  

NEXT WEEK:  THE DANA & MEGHAN SHOW!  In TWO WEEKS:  THIS IS ROCK 'N' ROLL RADIO, VOLUMES 1-3!!  And this is what rock 'n' roll radio sounded like on a Sunday night at Dana's Funky Soul Pit 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.
