“Bo Diddley, the rock ‘n’roll orignator with the rectangular guitar whose signature beat influenced musicians from Buddy Holly to the Rolling Stones, the Greatful Dead, and Bruce Springsteen, has died. He was 79” for more please see http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601103&sid=a1UqXM69ojO0&refer=us

Ok first of all, the contest is about shameless self-promotion. We are trying to develop a mailing list. In order to do so, we came up with the idea of a contest. Beginning today through June 15th , anyone who goes to www.soulradioonline.com and subscribes to our updates via email will be eligible for the contest (see middle right side of blog). Please note, you must complete the registration as directed by “Feedburner”. On June 17th we will hold a drawing of all who registered. The winner will receive an autographed CD of Roger Smith’s (yes Roger did autograph this for us) new release “Sittin’ In” due out on June 6th. The winner will be posted on our blog, and we will contact that person via email for mailing instructions. That’s all there is to it. Thanks www.soulradioonline.com.
