MATT THE CAT & THE JUKE IN THE BACK WITH A
FEATURE ON THE CADILLACS IN ROCK-IT RADIO #4411
The Cadillacs
The Cadillacs began their journey in 1953 as The Carnations and
when they changed their name they helped usher in a new era of
automobile names for R&B vocal groups. Lead tenor Earl "Speedo"
Carroll and bass singer Bobby Phillips forged a friendship that
would carry on from their days growing up in Harlem until the day
each of them passed on. While together, The Cadillacs produced
some of the coolest jump tunes from the classic "Speedo" to the
jazzy "Down The Road" and the killer "No Chance." As a ballad
group, Speedo and the boys recorded the version of the immortal
"Gloria" that all other vocal groups are measured against as well
as other gorgeous tunes like "You Are" and "The Girl I Love."
Matt The Cat features an interview with Earl Carroll himself, so that
he can tell The Cadillacs story in his own words. We lost Earl Carroll
and a little piece of early rock n' roll on November 25, 2012, but
Speedo will never be forgotten in the hearts of those who dig REAL
vocal group harmony.

LYRICS OF SO DOGGONE LONESOME! BY JOHNNY CASH
I do my best to hide this lowdown feelin'
I try to make believe there's nothin' wrong
But they're always askin' me about you darlin'
And it hurts me so to tell 'em that you're gone
If they ask me, I guess, I'd be denyin'
That I've been unhappy all alone
But if they heard my heart they'd hear it cryin'
Where's my darlin' when's she comin' home
I ask myself a million times what's right for me to do
To try to lose my blues alone or hang around for you
Well I make it pretty good until that moon comes shinin' through
And that I get so doggone lonesome
Time stands still when you're a waitin'
Sometimes I think my heart is stoppin' too
One lonely hour seems forever Sixty minutes more to wait for you
But I guess I'll keep waitin' till you're with me
'Cause I believe that lovin' you is right
But I don't care if the sun don't rise tomorrow
If I can't have you with me tonight
Well I know, I'll keep on loving you
'cause true love can't be killed
I ought to get you off of my mind
but I guess I never will
I could have a dozen others
but I know, I'd love you still
'Cause I get so doggone lonesome

NEW STREAM AUDIO FOR CONTINUOUS BROADCAST
OF ROCK-IT RADIO ONLINE.
We have upgraded our stream and with a few starting bugs I
think we have it all worked out. For those that tune us in
on there iphone or podcast thru Tunein.com at:
http://tunein.com/radio/Rock-it-Radio-s41878/
The Tunein.com folks are awesome just for the amount of
stations that they carry! If you don't have it on your iphone
I sure would suggest you grab it! They should be carrying the
new stream in about a week.
We have switched our audio link to a m3u format. This is
a more universal stream and can be received by a wider
variety of formats from iphones, ipods, podcasts and your
home pc on most modern computers. Easily and automatically
recognized by mp3 players etc.
Those that would like to run a test on our audio link in the m3u
format if you have any problems we should would like to hear from
you. The link is:
http://www.rockitradio.net/audio/live.m3u
The stream from our main webpage at rockitradio.net has also
been changed and you can hear it when you click the VU Audio
meter at the top of the page.
any thoughts good or bad is greatly appreciated please e mail me
at: dingo@rockitradio.net

NEW TWITTER ACCOUNT FOR ROCK-IT RADIO
It was painful to do after all the promotion that we had done
on our previous twitter account. But after several weeks it
has become obvious we are unable to restore our old account.
As it was hacked into. So, we are starting from scratch once
again. If you are part of Twitter please give us a follow at:
http://www.twitter.com/RockitRadio1
It is our new Twitter account and we will once again start
scrolling our messages and updates on our webpages as well.

ROCK-IT RADIO LAUNCHING PAD PLEA FROM ROCK-IT
RADIO.
Rock-it Radio is publicly supported and we rely on purchases from
our Launching Pad for us to pay our bills from copyright to bandwidth.
In October we had our 2nd worse month in sales and
have run in the red with losses the last two months and November
has gotten to a slow start as well.
So many things are happening in the world from Hurricane Sandy
victims to a difficult economy and so much more, I feel guilty in
mentioning this.
But if you have enjoyed Rock-it Radio this past year would you
please consider helping us exist? We don't ask something for
nothing. Every donation from the Rock-it Radio Launching pad
you will receive a vintage Rock and Roll broadcast of your choice
from the 50s thru the 70s and we have 100s to choose from.
I know many of you save our shows on mp3 and we allow that
and glad that you can do that. But we kindly ask for your support
as well. These vintage shows also make great Holiday gifts to the
oldies lovers in your family. Here are the links that help Rock-it
Radio.

Rock-it Radio Program Webpage Reminder
Remember, if the show
that you want to hear is getting close to the bottom of the list of
radio shows, you should tune in as soon as you can. These shows to have a
high audio quality require a lot of internet bandwidth and memory. And
currently we can only afford the 25 latest shows online here at Rock-it
Radio. So, when a new show is put online it knocks the oldest one off
the Rock-it Radio archives page. Usually a show will at least last 16
to 20 days, once it is placed in the archives.
============================================
