This Is Rock 'n' Roll Radio # 1087

This week's edition of This Is Rock 'n' Roll Radio with Dana & Carl is presented in memory of singer Dian Zain. Dian is best remembered as the lead singer of the Most from 1979-1980, a group which also included Flashcubes guitarist Paul Armstrong. I can't add anything more to the memorial I wrote for Dian last week; all that's left is for us to play the music, and to remember.

Remember the dance.

Remember the energy.

Remember the bright, bright lights.

This is what rock 'n' roll radio sounded like on a Sunday night in Syracuse this week.

IN JUST FOUR WEEKS: On August 22nd, a time-honored tradition of solid sweat continues, with THE TENTH ANNUAL DANA'S FUNKY SOUL PIT! Bring your own. We'll bring ours.
