This Is Rock ‘n’ Roll Radio # 972
It’s another Sunday, a few hours before showtime tonight on This Is Rock ‘n’ Roll Radio. The CD case is loaded with possibilities. As I write this, I have no idea what tracks will appear on the playlist below. I’ll play something from the new Ray Paul anthology, and something from a recent collection of 1967-1971 sides by The Clingers. I think I’ll throw in a couple of classic tracks I heard in recent major motion pictures. Dana’s promising us new music from Librarians With Hickeys. The playlist will take care of itself. Possibilities. Noise. Music. Gonna have a good time. This is what rock ‘n’ roll radio sounded like on a Sunday night in Syracuse this week.
