This Is Rock 'n' Roll Radio # 1159

With three weeks of special TIRnRR programming lined up to take us through New Year's Day, this is our last regular show of 2022. We figured we oughtta end the year with a bang.

So we did.

From Fleetwood Mac through the Beatles, I think we hit the mark for whatever the hell it is we try to do. New music. Classic music. A higher level of volume is justified. Turn it up.

As 2022 morphs into 2023, This Is Rock 'n' Roll Radio will celebrate its 24th anniversary this month. The Dana & Carl shows (under different titles) go back even further, to January of 1992. We are living proof that you CAN trust a DJ team over 30. 

No, really! There's ample evidence of that below. BANG! Bring on TIRnRR Year 25.

NEXT WEEK: Sunday, December 18th brings THE 24th ANNUAL THIS IS ROCK 'N' ROLL RADIO CHRISTMAS SHOW! Plenty of jam jars, baby. IN TWO WEEKS: On December 25th, join us for OUR PRAYER: Love, Hope, And Holding On, a special edition of TIRnRR. And IN THREE WEEKS: January 1st! THE COUNTDOWN!! This is what rock 'n' roll radio sounded like on a Sunday night in Syracuse this week.

This week's show is available as a podcast: TIRnRR # 1159

This Is Rock 'n' Roll Radio with Dana & Carl airs Sunday nights from 9 to Midnight Eastern, on the air in Syracuse at SPARK! WSPJ 103.3 and 93.7 FM, on the web at  http://sparksyracuse.org/, and via the TuneIn Radio and Radio Garden apps as Westcott Radio.
