Q: As someone who knows the history of Grady Memorial Hospital, I was impressed after reading the AJC’s progress report on hospital’s expansion. As a homeowner and resident of Fulton County, I am a contributor, but I would like to do more. How do concerned citizens make individual contributions for capital improvement?

—Catherine Thomas, Atlanta

A: Contributions to Grady Memorial Hospital can be made through the donations page of the Grady Health Foundation's website (www.gradyhealthfoundation.org/DonationPage), Renay Blumenthal, the organization's president, told Q&A on the News. Blumenthal added that those looking to give specifically to the hospital's expansion projects should select the "Capital Campaign 2017-2018" under the page's "designation" tab.

Q: Please settle an argument. I listen to Sirius XM’s ’50s on 5, which an oldies station. I say the singers and musicians featured on the channel are not the original artists, but my son-in-law says they are. Who’s correct?

—Ron Minafo, Buford

A: Sirius XM's '50s on 5 station only features songs recorded by their original artists, Patrick Reilly, Sirius XM's senior vice president of corporate communications, told Q&A on the News.

Reilly added that the channel exclusively plays the original hit version of each track, regardless of whether or not the artist had later re-recorded or updated the song.
