I blieve the photo caption for this article, pages 58 and 59 of the October 2017 issue, is wrong.  Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe the station is on the SOUTH side of the tracks, like all such Rock Island stations in Illinois, and thus the Rocket is going from Chicago to Peoria, and not the reverse.

For a continued discussion of this important article, please contact me at daveklepper@yahoo.com.

If this articile had ben published while Norman was still alive, I would have bought my more recent CDs from his music store in Princeton, IL., despite having to pay for postage.
