This week, The 13th Annual DANA'S FUNKY SOUL PIT is dedicated to the memory of Scott Cornish. Scott was one of the biggest music fans I ever met, and most of the selections in this year's Funky Soul Pit came from Scott's own collection.
Scott: We'd tell you to rest easy, but we'd be wastin' our breath. If there's an eternity up there somewhere, I guarantee you Scott Cornish is at an Otis Redding show right now.
Godspeed, Scott. This is what rock 'n' roll radio sounded like for this year's edition of 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, streaming at SPARK stream, and on the Radio Garden app as WESTCOTT RADIO. Recent shows are archived at Westcott Radio
