This Is Rock 'n' Roll Radio # 1197: The 12th Annual DANA'S FUNKY SOUL PIT!

Once more with feeling, and once more with soul. It's time for The 12th Annual DANA'S FUNKY SOUL PIT!

The annual Dana's Funky Soul Pit is always a treat, and this year's soulabration is no exception. All credit to Dana, the hardest working man in the funky soul business; he picks the tracks, he sets the sequence, and he does NOT disappoint. There's a reason the Soul Pit is one of our biggest and most-anticipated shows, each 'n' every year. I'm already looking forward to next year's edition. I'm a fan. We're ALL fans!

IN THREE WEEKS: TIRnRR # 1200! And this is what rock 'n' roll radio sounded like in DANA'S FUNKY SOUL PIT on another Sunday night in Syracuse this week.

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, and via the TuneIn Radio and Radio Garden apps as Westcott Radio.
