If this happened on the Boston Center frequency (133.25) near the SYR airspace then unfortunately this is not a scanned frequency being sent up to LiveATC.net, so no archives exist.
Too bad, as this would have been an interesting clip. What was the issue? VFR into IMC?
Before I knew how to make audio clips there was a similarly interesting incident where a low-time VFR pilot had departed from an uncontrolled airport near the Syracuse airport earlier in the day, and upon returning at night failed to recall what frequency was needed to activate the pilot controlled lighting at the airport (Weedsport, which actually has a different frequency for PCL).
He then called SYR ATC, confessed his problem, admitted to being low time and very nervous now that darkness had set in, and requested vectors to the SYR airport.
He ended up flying right over the SYR airport before he was able to spot it.
