The two-phase sidewalk project will stretch from Georges Road to Route 522 and calls for new sidewalks and improve- ments to the slt)nn sewers. The first phase stretches less than a quar- ter-mile, from Georges Road to the public serv ice casement along the south side of the road. The second phase will stretch beyond that, to Route 522. After reviewing three possible options for which side of the road to place the sec- ond-phase sidewalks on, the governing body chose the north side of Ridge Road, where there are more residences.

    Doing Sound: An Ethnography of Fidelity, Temporality and Labor Among Live Sound Engineers Whitney Slaten Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2018 © 2018 Whitney Slaten All rights reserved ABSTRACT Doing Sound: An Ethnography of Fidelity, Temporality and Labor Among Live Sound Engineers Whitney Slaten This dissertation ethnographically represents the work of three live sound engineers and the profession of live sound reinforcement engineering in the New York City metropolitan area. In addition to amplifying music to intelligible sound levels, these engineers also amplify music in ways that engage the sonic norms associated with the pertinent musical genres of jazz, rock and music theater. These sonic norms often overdetermine audience members' expectations for sound quality at concerts. In particular, these engineers also work to sonically and visually mask themselves and their equipment. Engineers use the term “transparency” to describe this mode of labor and the relative success of sound reproduction technologies. As a concept within the realm of sound reproduction technologies, transparency describes methods of reproducing sounds without coloring or obscuring the original quality. Transparency closely relates to “fidelity,” a concept that became prominent throughout the late nineteenth, twentieth, and twenty-first centuries to describe the success of sound reproduction equipment in making the quality of reproduced sound faithful to its original. The ethnography opens by framing the creative labor of live sound engineering through a process of “fidelity.” I argue that fidelity dynamically oscillates as struggle and satisfaction in live sound engineers’ theory of labor and resonates with their phenomenological encounters with sounds and social positions as laborers at concerts.

    Fab Faux Meet the Beatles New York combo is the greatest Beatles cover band – without the wigs Not your average cover band Photo by: Josh Rothstein One day in early 1998, Jimmy Vivino, guitarist and arranger for the Max Weinberg 7, the house band on Late Night With Conan O'Brien, ran into his neighbor Will Lee, bassist for Paul Shaffer's CBS Orchestra on Late Show With David Letterman, in the elevator of their Manhattan apartment building. "We were going to our shows," Vivino says, "and Will goes, 'Hey, I'm starting a Beatles cover band.' The first thing I said was 'Why? There are plenty of Beatles tribute bands out there.'" "Then I realized he was serious," Vivino recalls. "He said, 'I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about the way classical musicians start a chamber orchestra to play Mozart. I'm talking about playing the Beatles' songs and records live, as perfectly as we can.' I said, 'Without the wigs?'" Lee's reply was quick: "Sure." Seven years later, the Fab Faux -- Lee, Vivino, guitarist Frank Agnello, drummer Rich Pagano and multi-instrumentalist Jack Petruzzelli, all of whom sing lead and harmony vocals -- are the most accomplished band in the Beatles-cover business. Since debuting at New York's China Club in May 1998, the Fab Faux have mastered and played more than 160 of the 211 songs in the official canon -- according to Agnello, the Faux's resident Beatles statistician -- and most are complex hits and post-'65 LP tracks the Beatles never performed in concert.

Starting Feb. 1, the Dutchess County resident will be performing the first Friday of every month at Keegan Ales, 20 Saint James St., Kingston, a James Street brewery known for its raucously fun music and down-home style. Playing music for adults twice his age doesn't intimidate Myles, however. "My motto is the more they drink the better I sound," said Myles, who moves fluidly from the guitar, piano, bass and saxophone during his performances. The product of a musical household, Myles said one of his first memories was jamming to James Brown in his living room. "I would watch tapes of James Myles Mancuso. (Photo provided) Brown and Ray Charles," he said. "I just loved their music." The blues greats are still among Myles' favorite musicians. Now, he also enjoys King Curtis, Albert Collins and Freddie King. However, he isn't impressed by contemporary artists.
