What happened to Norm and Ray?
• Norm Pellegrini is alive and well and pursuing other interests. Ray Nordstrand retired from the program after a heart attack in 1993, and after a long illness, passed away, August 27, 2005. • How come you don’t offer taped or CD copies of the program, or some of the selections that you play? I’d be willing to pay. • Our licensing agreement with ASCAP and BMI allows us to broadcast music, not to sell copies of it. To make copies of the program would violate the composers’ and artists’ copyrights, not to mention their livelihoods. We sympathize that some of what we play is no longer available for purchase, but it is still copyrighted. Even if these legalities did not exist, WFMT lacks the staff and facilities to oblige. We strongly urge you to purchase the selections you enjoy. • You post two different playlists, a Chicago playlist and a national playlist. Which show do I hear? • If you listen to the three-hour Midnight Special on WFMT, either over-the-air, or on our Internet streaming
