Continuing our look back at the earliest editions of DANA'S FUNKY SOUL PIT. We've seen the first Soul Pit from 2012 and Soul Pit # 2 from 2013; now, it's August 3rd, 2014, and it's time for DANA'S FUNKY SOUL PIT # 3.
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/
Greetings again from THIS IS ROCK 'N' ROLL RADIO with Dana & Carl. This week's extravaganza was devoted exclusively to the third annual edition of DANA'S FUNKY SOUL PIT, a chance for Dana to program an entire show's worth of irresistible soul, blues, and r 'n' b. Don't try to resist it; you CAN'T. For once, this ain't just hype. If you can resist this stuff, not only are you without any soul, you are without any pulse.
Dana saw this year's edition of DANA'S FUNKY SOUL PIT as an opportunity to change things around a bit--or, if you will, to shake it up. Baby. With a spotlight on the sounds of Northern soul, Dana created the radio equivalent of boppin' into a hot London nightclub circa 1965--at the Bag O' Nails, at the Marquee, or wherever your Mod mind can imagine--and letting the music move you. I can take no credit for this one, but I'm damn glad I was there to listen along. If you missed it, you can still download it from the Programs section of our website, www.westcottradio.org. DANA'S FUNKY SOUL PIT is always one of our best shows each year; DANA'S FUNKY SOUL PIT III just might be the best one yet.
NEXT WEEK: on Sunday, August 10th, we celebrate the eve of JOE JACKSON's 60th birthday, as Guest Programmer BETH WOODELL has assembled a stellar show full of Joe's own music, as well as some of the great records that influenced our JJ when he was just a little sharp-looker. IN TWO WEEKS: on August 17th, MEGHAN CAFARELLI returns! IN THREE WEEKS: an otherwise-regular show, but we need to give away some LANNIE FLOWERS CDs to one lucky listener, so it's time to revive...THE MYSTERY THREAD! And this is what rock 'n' roll radio sounded like 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.
