Prowlin' With Matt The Cat

Congratulations to Amos Milburn who won last week’s Cat Fight with over 50% of the vote. He defeated both Chuck Berry AND The Rolling Stones over the song, “Down The Road Apiece.”

Amos Milburn (1946) – 61

Chuck Berry (1960) – 43

Rolling Stones (1965) – 15

This week’s Friday Night Cat Fight theme is “Hearts” for Valentine’s Day. Listen to the half hour plus broadcast and then vote for your favorite version of “Without Love (There Is Nothing)”. Click Here to listen to this week’s Friday Night Cat Fight! and have a Happy Valentine’s Day.

Let’s just say that Matt The Cat put up an Internet radio program that you could stream at work and download to your ipod or computer. You could listen to it anytime you wanted and a new program would be put up every weekday. Would you be interested and would you pay to listen to such a program? There are many expenses associated with such an endeavor. A legal internet radio show would have to pay publishing rights to BMI and ASCAP. A show would also have to pay rights to the RIAA (Sound Exchange). All this costs money. Plus, Matt The Cat would have to make enough to support himself and his family. In return, Matt would present a great sounding, professional show that would be even better than those shows he produced for XM Radio.

Please take a moment to fill out this survey, so we get an idea how many are willing to sign up.

Thanks so much for your time.

Soulfully,
Matt The Cat

This week, we have TWO firsts on The Friday Night Cat Fight. The podcast is being expanded into a half hour program! AND we’re going to have a 3-way Cat Fight for the first time EVER!

Each week, the show will have a theme that relates to the song that the cats will be battling over. Then toward the end of the half hour of tunes, the Cats will battle it out for your vote.

This week’s theme is “Roads” to correspond to the Cat Fight which will be over the classic tune, “Down The Road Apiece”. Don Raye wrote the song for Will Bradley’s Orchestra, who did the original version. We begin, however, with Amos Milburn’s 1946 rendition which was recorded during his first session for Aladdin Records. Then, Chuck Berry puts his stamp on it from 1960 and we close out with The Rolling Stones version from their 2nd US LP issued in 1965.

Vote for the version you dig the most and please leave feedback in the comments section as to how you like the new version of the Friday Night Cat Fight.
