The 1980 Annual Report is dedicated to Edtth Lovell and T. Drew Bates, ,both of whom retired after many years of service to the Town. Edith Lovell served as the Secretary to many Boards of Seleetman going back to the ·time when the Selectmen were also the Board of Assessors and the Board of Public WeUaTe. Her knowledge and ex­ perience helped to ease the transition periods of new members coming onto the Board, and her familiarity with the S•ta;te and Town By­ Laws made it possible for the Selectmen's office ,to be run efficiently, even though the Board was present only once a week for their meeting. Edie will ,be missed by all in the Town Hall.

  • Venturing in the Slipstream
    VENTURING IN THE SLIPSTREAM THE PLACES OF VAN MORRISON’S SONGWRITING Geoff Munns BA, MLitt, MEd (hons), PhD (University of New England) A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of Western Sydney University, October 2019. Statement of Authentication The work presented in this thesis is, to the best of my knowledge and belief, original except as acknowledged in the text. I hereby declare that I have not submitted this material, either in full or in part, for a degree at this or any other institution. .............................................................. Geoff Munns ii Abstract This thesis explores the use of place in Van Morrison’s songwriting. The central argument is that he employs place in many of his songs at lyrical and musical levels, and that this use of place as a poetic and aural device both defines and distinguishes his work. This argument is widely supported by Van Morrison scholars and critics. The main research question is: What are the ways that Van Morrison employs the concept of place to explore the wider themes of his writing across his career from 1965 onwards? This question was reached from a critical analysis of Van Morrison’s songs and recordings. A position was taken up in the study that the songwriter’s lyrics might be closely read and appreciated as song texts, and this reading could offer important insights into the scope of his life and work as a songwriter. The analysis is best described as an analytical and interpretive approach, involving a simultaneous reading and listening to each song and examining them as speech acts.

  • Guilford Co NC Apps
    Southern Campaign American Revolution Pension Statements [Note from Will Graves: Nancy Poquette has very generously given us permission to post her manuscript containing transcriptions she has made of numerous veterans who lived and/or served in Guilford County North Carolina at some time during the Revolutionary War. Given the “search” capabilities of this site, I have decided to post Nancy's entire manuscript rather than extract from it the individual pension applications transcribed in it. This is an experiment to determine whether or not the ability to search this site will be compromised in any way by grouping the transcriptions. Obviously, one compromise is that each soldier's name will not appear in the Index of applications, but this shortcoming should be overcome by the search capabilities of the site. We'll see. Please let me know if you have any thoughts on whether or not this approach should be used in the future. Also, please note that some of the applications transcribed by Nancy duplicate transcriptions already appearing on the site, but such duplication is viewed as a positive since different transcribers may well (and do) interpret handwritten documents in different ways. Many thanks to Nancy for her generous sharing of the wonderful fruits of her selfless labor—Huzza, huzza, huzza!] Transcribed and annotated by Nancy Poquette Pension Applications of the Guilford County, NC Soldiers of the Revolutionary War Source Lists of Guilford County Men 6-20 The Table of Contents for Pension Applications-[abridged and annotated] Name - - - page Abbott, John - - - - - first enlistment June 1, 1781 Adams, George - - - - 21 Albright, Ludwick - - - - 22 Albright, William - - - - 26 Alexander, Joseph - - - - 28 Apple, Daniel - - - - 29 Armstrong, Thomas - - - - 31 Baker, Peter - - - - - Barnes, Chesley - - - - 32 Barnett, James P.

  • The Lost Rolling Stone: How Guitar Great Rory Gallagher Was Airbrushed from Rock History
    15/06/2020 The lost Rolling Stone: how guitar great Rory Gallagher was airbrushed from rock history NEWS WEBSITE OF THE YEAR My Feed Coronavirus News Politics Sport Business Money Opinion Tech Life Style Travel Culture See all Culture The lost Rolling Stone: how guitar great Rory Gallagher was airbrushed from rock history Recruited by the Stones and worshipped by Jimi Hendrix, the Irishman was a prodigy. So why, asks his brother Dónal, did he die so quietly? By Ed Power 15 June 2020 • 10:28am 123 On January 23, 1975 Mick Jagger stood in the arrivals hall at Rotterdam airport on the look-out for a long-haired Irishman in a checked shirt. Eventually he spotted Rory Gallagher, the 26-year-old guitar wizard from Cork, fresh off a flight from Heathrow. Gallagher walked slowly through arrivals, hefting a suitcase, his battered 1961 Fender Stratocaster and an amplifier. He and Jagger went outside to a taxi rank. Jagger and a cabbie haggled over the price of the 15 minute drive back to De Doelen Concert Hall, close to Rotterdam Centraal train station. Bombed into oblivion during the war, the 2,200 capacity venue had been rebuilt in 1966. Now it was playing host to a different kind of conflict, as the Stones rehearsed for their upcoming tour. This was to be their first since the surprise departure that December of guitarist Mick Taylor (who had in turn replaced founding member Brian Jones in 1969). Gallagher was in the Netherlands to audition for the berth vacated by Taylor. Later that evening he stepped onto the cavernous De Doelen stage, his footsteps echoing in the floorboards.

  • Official Biography
    OFFICIAL BIOGRAPHY If ever there was a “musician’s musician” then that accolade surely belongs to Rory Gallagher. Renowned for his blistering live performances and highly respected for his dedication to his craft, he died in 1995, aged just 47, yet his reputation has continued to flourish in the years since. Indeed, some of rock’s most seminal figures, from Jimi Hendrix to Eric Clapton, Queen’s Brian May to The Smiths’ Johnny Marr, have cited him as an influence. Clapton credited Rory with “getting me back into the blues”, while May has unequivocally stated: “I owe Rory Gallagher my sound.” Rory remains a touchstone for all would-be guitar heroes in the 21st Century, yet the rural Ireland he grew up in even barely acknowledged the arrival of rock’n’roll. When he was born William Rory Gallagher, in Ballyshannon, County Donegal, in 1948, his father was working for the Irish Electricity Supply Board, constructing a hydroelectric power plant on the River Erne above the town. Later, Rory, with his younger brother Dónal, moved to Cork with their mother, Monica, the boys attended the city’s North Monastery School. Monica Gallagher sang and had acted with Ballyshannon’s Abbey Players, so the Gallagher boys’ early musical inclinations were indulged by their parents. Rory, especially, showed precocious talent, first mastering ukulele and then graduating to acoustic and, finally, electric guitar. Unable to find – or even afford – records, the young Rory stayed up late and listened attentively to Radio Luxembourg and the American Forces Network, where he first heard rock’n’roll legends Buddy Holly, Eddie Cochran and Lonnie Donegan, before later discovering two of his biggest influences, Muddy Waters and Lead Belly.

It also examines his breadth of influence across genres as well as his influence as an educator. Joe’s approach to teaching is also explored. Although hand development was one of his primary areas of focus, he also taught drum set coordination as well as the more musical aspects of drumming such as understanding song form and approaches to improvisation. This thesis also provides a unique glimpse into Joe’s drum equipment and set-up as well as his approach to tuning. The history of his drum and cymbal endorsements is also explored. The information found in this thesis is based on my more than twenty years as his pupil and drum technician. I currently serve as archivist for all of Joe’s personal effects from throughout his long and illustrious career. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS AND DEDICATION I would like to express my sincere thanks to Dr. Lewis Porter and Dr.

  • Challenges to an Irish Eco-‐Criticism
    Journal of Ecocriticism 5(2) July 2013 Challenges to an Irish Eco-Criticism John Wilson Foster (Queen’s University Belfast)1 Abstract If the term ‘Green Studies’ is a contemporary synonym for ‘eco-criticism’ then Ireland would seem a natural habitat (as it were) for the practice of eco-criticism. No country has been more identified with the green world; and had Irish Studies been called from the first ‘Green Studies’ few would have obJected in the days before environmentalism and before other colours in the cultural, if not political, Irish spectrum were admitted. Irish paradigmatic perceptions and representations of the natural world still exert great cultural influence on and in our literature – the aesthetic, the scientific, the economic, the Romantic, the nativist, the religious, the folkloristic. Of these, only the economic and scientific have not been culturally celebrated by many literary critics, while science’s productions – from nature-writing to scientific papers and monographs – are largely ignored by critics and anthologists, and by writers who are scientifically unsympathetic, indifferent or not conversant. Yet eco-criticism requires the scientific paradigm, and while a truly environmental literature may not have come into being in Ireland there is nevertheless a great deal of Irish writing can stimulate future ecocrticial discussions. Nature-Writing If the term ‘Green Studies’ is a contemporary synonym for ‘eco-criticism’ – as it seems to be when used by Laurence Coupe in his Green Studies Reader (2000) – then Ireland would seem a natural habitat (as it were) for the practice of eco-criticism.1 No country has been more identified with the green world, and had Irish Studies been called from the first ‘Green Studies,’ few would have objected in the days before environmentalism and before other colours in the cultural, if not political, Irish spectrum were admitted.

  • Them-Van Morrison Chronology 1956-1967
    Compiled from books, articles, press clippings, liner notes, interviews (numerous radio/TV/press audio/video interviews with relevant information have yet to be transcribed), contracts (and private correspondence) too numerous to cite properly. Most of these materials are of public record, though located only through extreme diligence, while a scant few come from private correspondence with individuals who had first-hand documentation/knowledge/experience of these events. August 31, 1963 is the earliest specifically noted date, Van's 18th birthday, celebrated in Heidelberg, West Germany while on tour with "The International Monarchs". Them had, from best accounting, 15-16 working lineup changes before Van Morrison departed circa August 1966. This document is anti-copyright, to be freely copied and distributed for information and research purposes. Criticisms, corrections (doubtless there are many, as all primary source material contained discrepancies throughout...help with UK geographics especially appreciated), ADDITIONS, and verifications are greatly encouraged.

  • RORY GALLAGHER and TASTE VIDEO REFERENCE GUIDE
    RORYRORY GALLAGHERGALLAGHER EIGHTH PROVISIONAL EDITION, SEPTEMBER 2015 andand TASTETASTE VIDEOVIDEO REFERENCEREFERENCE GUIDEGUIDE What's Going On, what's coming next? I used the release of the 'Isle Of Wight' DVD/BluRay as an opportunity to prepare an updated version of the Video Reference Guide. It came as a surprise to me when in the wake of the release of 'What's Going On – Taste Live At The Isle Of Wight' I learned that apparently at the Montreux Jazz Festival archives long lost footage of Taste has been rediscovered. How do I know? Just check out this link: http://www.montreuxjazz.com/taste-01-january-1969-auditorium-stravinski Notice the 'EPFL key' given; if you look up the keys 69ROSE01 – 69ROSE04 on Google, you will find several entries from the Montreux Jazz Festival database which are apparently from the same source bundle (Colosseum, John Bromley. Taste...). Next, check for 'Colosseum Montreux 1969' on youtube to discover that some footage from their Montreux show is available there. This suggests that each of the 69ROSEXX entries from the MJF database is tv footage (after all, the Rose D'Or is a television festival!). Now check back the Taste entry (69ROSE02) to find that each of the tracks has a precise running time. How would they know the running times of the tracks if they would not have found the footage itself? So if the Colosseum bit from the same bundle exists on youtube and they have running times for the Taste show at the MJF archives, am I going to far to assume one of the lost Taste performances in Montreux has been rediscovered? I admit this remains a bit speculative.
