DAVE ARNOLD (Charlotte-Statesville, NC) Subject: Jim Rose Remembers Radio. Jim, I am in Statesville, NC just north of Charlotte. Started in radio in the early 1970s worked in markets such as Wilmington, NC; Jonesboro, AR; Rock Hill, SC as Operations Manager and Program Director. I worked in college radio and started out in the business after college. Been out since 1997. Thanks, Dave Arnold

DERRILL HOLLY (Arlington, VA) Jim, Paul Williams would smile and chuckle in that gregarious way he had of laughing if he knew he had even more friends in death than he had in life. Watching the continued growth of his Facebook friends list since word of his passing surfaced last week is a fitting testament to the man’s warmth and good humor. As I wrote last week. He was a competitor, a colleague and a friend, and was on the winning end of the relationship. So were we all.

DAVID PERKINS (Fort Worth, TX) Jim, thought you'd care to have this obit from The Fort Worth Star-Telegram today, Wednesday, February 10th, David Perkins (Charlie Brown WBAP 1970-73) / (www.JesusChristSaid.com) Fort Worth - Ted Norman Sr. flew B-24 bombers during World War II. Next, he becomes a big-band singer in NYC. He switches to a career in radio as station manager of WBAP/820 AM and KSCS/96.3 FM. One of the first to bring country radio to the FM dial on KSCS (Silver Country Stereo). "FM country didn't exist before Ted Norman," said Jody Dean, a KLUV/98.7 FM DJ who knows Norman since Dean she is a teenager in Fort Worth. "Ted Norman did for country music what Ron Chapman did for Top 40. All these giants in the industry, they copied what he did at Silver KSCS." WBAP DJ Bill Mack agrees. "He was one of nicest guys I ever met. He really took an interest in you. You weren't just working for him." Norman dies at 86 on Thursday at his Fort Worth apartment. He is born on August 14, 1923 in Fort Worth....graduates from Paschal High School in 1939...Texas Christian University in 1943. During World War II, he receives the Distinguished Flying Cross and the Air Medal with three oak leaf clusters. After the war, he moves to NYC to become a singer with the Ray McKinley and Vincent Lopez orchestras. There, he meets Dale Nunnally, a vocalist and former Miss Alabama. They marry on May 24, 1954 in Gadsden, AL. In 1960, they move to Fort Worth to rear four children. In 1975, Elston Brooks' column in the Star-Telegram, Norman recalls his days on the road with a big band. "I spent years of playing one-nighters in ballrooms, colleges, always going on to the next town. We literally lived in the bus, traveling a day and a half and getting to a place just an hour before it was time to go on. Splash a little water in your face and get on the bandstand. But you know something? At the time it seemed like a drag, but I know today it was the greatest time of my life." Survivors, all of Fort Worth, include his widow Dale; daughters Cathy Norman and Cindy Moser; sons Jody Norman and Ted Norman Jr. and five grandchildren.

BUD BUSCHARDT (Dallas, TX) Jim, We were supposed to have rain here this morning and that rain was supposed to turn to snow tonight. However, someone screwed up somewhere along the line. It started snowing in the wee hours of the morning and it hasn't stopped yet. I started up to Denton to teach my class this morning but got only as far as the Toll way and Belt Line and came back home. My class is at 11 and at about 11:20 I received a call that the school would be closing at noon. I would have gone to Denton for a 40 minute class. For once luck was on my side. I just took a ruler out on to the deck and there is 3 1/2 inches of snow on my patio table. I'm ready for Spring. Never liked the cold anyway! Bud

CHARLES GEORGE (Dallas, TX) I hated to see this on AOL. I hate all the in-your face type talk shows on KRLD and other stations with Talk. Neil Sperry always has given helpful advice. Unfortunately makes me think of the Sam Cooke song, A Change Is Gonna Come. I am just not sure I am ready or want it. (www.star-telegram.com/news/story/1946388.html) I have decided to try and learn to sing and play the song In The Garden Where The Pratties Grow. I like playing tunes I enjoy but know I won't ever be making any money from playing. I understand about when the arts are underwritten," He who pays the piper calls the tune." Charles George

TRIVIA ANSWER: Felice and Boudleaux Bryant say that it only takes them about 15 minutes to write the Everly Brothers' 1958 #1 hit All I Have To Do Is Dream.

MIKE MARSHALL (Houston, TX) Subject: JRRR 2/10/2010. Jim, regarding your trivia question on February 10's JRRR about Gladys Knight and the Pips. There is a little box on the IRS form 1040 by the signature line that asks your occupation. I used to wonder aloud on my show if the Pips wrote "Pip" in that box. Mike Marshall

DENIS HEALEY (August 30, 1917-p) It will squeeze the rich until the pips squeak.
