THIS IS ROCK 'N' ROLL RADIO Flashback: DANA'S FUNKY SOUL PIT # 4



Concluding a look back at the earliest editions of DANA'S FUNKY SOUL PIT. We've already seen the first three, from 2012, 2013, and 2014, and more recent editions from 2016, 2017, 2018, and last week's 2019 blowout have all appeared here when they were shiny and new. Now, we bridge the gap with a trip back to September 6th, 2015 for DANA'S FUNKY SOUL PIT # 4.

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/

This week's episode of THIS IS ROCK 'N' ROLL RADIO proudly presented the return of DANA'S FUNKY SOUL PIT, a beloved TIRnRR tradition that allows Dana to program three irresistible hours of soul, blues, funk, and r & b, all to universal delight.  After an opening set of British rock 'n' roll groups paying tribute to American soul, Dana dove right into the muddy waters (HAR!) to assemble a soulful shindig like no other.  We even changed our billing, for one week only, as Dana & Carl became your Funky Soul Pit hosts, Soul Brother Number 27 and The Fantastic Carl C.  Oh YES!  Scan the playlist below, and marvel at the brilliance of DANA'S FUNKY SOUL PIT.

NEXT WEEK:  new music from DANA COUNTRYMAN, new music from Kool Kat Musik recording artists THE JUNIOR LEAGUE, and new music from Australian pop god MICHAEL CARPENTER!  And this is what rockin' soul radio sounded like on a Sunday night 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
