NEWPORT, RHODE ISLAND NEW-002 CLIFF WALK AND THE BREAKERS Duration: 3.00 Hrs Tour Price: £0.00 Date: October 12, 2016 08:30 AM, 11:30 AM Enjoy the riches of Newport with this tour that takes you along a portion of its spectacular Cliff Walk trail and visits one of its most elegant mansions. Depart the pier for a short drive to the Cliff Walk where you will have New England's rocky shore and crashing surf on one side, and Newport's most extravagant mansions on the other. This wonderful walk remains one of the top attractions in Newport and is enjoyed by people of all ages. Your guide will be happy to share the stories of America's Gilded Age and the cast of characters that made Newport one of the nation's wealthiest summer resorts. Next, your leisurely walk takes you to The Breakers, the grandest of Newport's summer "cottages." The Breakers was commissioned by Cornelius Vanderbilt II, Chairman and President of the New York Central Railroad. Inspired by the 16th century palaces of Genoa and Turin, the 70 room Italian Renaissance-style villa was designed by architect Richard Morris Hunt who directed an international team of craftsmen and artisans. Completed in 1895, the mansion is situated on a 13 acre estate overlooking a magnificent view of the rugged Atlantic Coastline. The self-guided audio tour of the mansion provides insight into the life of this fascinating time in American History at your own pace. Time is afforded to browse the mansion's gift shop before returning to the pier. Please note: Due to the popularity of the Newport Mansions, please anticipate a wait of approximately 30 minutes. This tour may operate in reverse order. This tour includes approximately 2.5 hours of walking - at times on uneven ground. The tour is not available to guests who utilize a wheelchair and not considered suitable for those with mobility concerns. A windbreaker or light jacket and comfortable, flat walking shoes are strongly recommended. No photography of any kind is allowed inside The Breakers. The order of the sites viewed or visited may vary. NEW-004 VANDERBILT'S NEWPORT Duration: 3.75 Hrs Tour Price: £0.00 Date: October 12, 2016 08:45 AM, 09:45 AM Discover Vanderbilt's Newport on this delightful tour that has you visiting two of the grandest mansions ever built in the United States, The Breakers and Marble House. Commodore Cornelius Vanderbilt (1794-1877) established the Vanderbilt family fortune in steamships and later, in the New York Central Railroad. As the industrial revolution reached its zenith in the late 19th century, the Vanderbilts soon became the wealthiest family in America and chose Newport as their summer playground. Departing the pier, you will first drive to Marble House. Completed in 1892, Marble House was modeled after the Petit Trianon in Versailles. Mr. Vanderbilt instructed his architect, Richard Morris Hunt to build "the very best living accommodations that money could buy". After nearly four years of work, and a total cost exceeding $11 million, the mansion was completed in 1892 and given to his wife, Mrs. Alva Vanderbilt, leading hostess of Newport Society, for her 39th birthday. This striking Mansion became the social and architectural landmark that set the pace for Newport's transformation from a quiet summer colony of wooden houses to the legendary resort of opulent stone palaces. You will enjoy the stories of the elaborate parties of the Gilded Age as you tour the public rooms and grounds of Marble House. Continuing on, you will next visit The Breakers , the grandest of Newport's summer "cottages", The Breakers was commissioned by the Commodore's grandson, Cornelius Vanderbilt II, Chairman and President of the New York Central Railroad. Inspired by the 16th century palaces of Genoa and Turin, the 70 room Italian Renaissance-style villa was designed by architect Richard Morris Hunt who directed an international team of craftsmen and artisans. Completed in 1895, the mansion is situated on a 13-acre estate overlooking a magnificent view of the rugged Atlantic Coastline. The self-guided audio tours of the mansions provide insight into the life of this fascinating time in American History at your own pace. Time is afforded to browse the mansions' gift shops before making the return drive to the pier. Please note: Due to the popularity of the Newport Mansions, please anticipate a wait of approximately 30 minutes. This tour may operate in reverse order. The sites on this tour are only partially wheelchair accessible. Those guests with mobility concerns are cautioned to evaluate their personal level of ability and stamina. It is recommended that guests wear comfortable walking shoes. Photography is not permitted in the mansions. NEW-005 ROSE ISLAND LIGHTHOUSE & HARBOR CRUISE Duration: 2.50 Hrs Tour Price: £0.00 Date: October 12, 2016 08:45 AM, 11:45 AM Enjoy a scenic harbor cruise to nearby Rose Island to explore this fully restored lighthouse and view the remains of 200-year-old Fort Hamilton, now an important wildlife sanctuary. Depart into the fresh sea breeze and beautiful scenery of Naragansett Bay en route to Rose Island. During your 50-minute cruise to the Island, your captain will share some of the 350-year history of the 'City-by-the-Sea' and how it earned the title 'Yachting Capital of the World'. First lit in 1870, the lighthouse was lovingly restored to its original turn-of-the-last century ambiance in 1993 and remains a classic example of American maritime architecture. Due to its strategic location, Rose Island has been of military importance since the Revolutionary War. Today, it plays an important role as home to a number of migrating birds. A visit to this "living museum" offers insight into a by-gone way of life spent tending the light and raising families in dedicated self-sufficiency. Following your visit to the lighthouse, you will join your naturalist guide for a leisurely walk before re-boarding your vessel for the return to the pier. Rich in maritime heritage, past and present, a scenic cruise on the bay is an excellent way to appreciate Newport's colonial heritage, yachting history and opulent estates. Please note: This tour includes approximately 1-hour of walking and/or standing, half of which is along dirt pathways. The tour is not available to guests who utilize a wheelchair and not recommended for those guests with mobility concerns. Participants should be in good physical condition. Since Rose Island is exposed to weather, we suggest you wear comfortable non-slip footwear as well as a windbreaker or rain jacket. The tour will operate rain or shine.

  • Midland and the Barroom Weeper1
    CARLO ROTELLA Boston College Email: [email protected] “I Come in Here So I Don’t Have to Hate Her” Midland and the Barroom Weeper1 Singing a barroom weeper is like writing a haiku about cherry blossoms or a Western about a laconic hero who cleans up a violent town. You’re under significant pressure to nail the obligatory elements of the form but you also have an opportunity to make fresh meanings by rearranging its familiar Lego pieces and taking advantage of a novel con- text. Whether you’re adding a song to the tradition or covering one that’s already in the tradition, you’re walking the line between getting it right and making it new. It’s a ques- tion of how creative you can get while working with, as the guys in Midland put it in their barroom weeper “Drinkin’ Problem,” “Same old folks, same old songs/Same old same old blue neon.” The barroom weeper is a country music warhorse in which a narrator with drink in hand and too many under the belt tells a story of yet another big night out that’s also a tale of woe. Sometimes this narrator is a woman—as in the case of Kitty Wells’s classic answer song “It Wasn’t God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels”—but more typically the narrator is a man and he’s there because of a woman. Especially in the hands of the genre’s greatest exponents, Merle Haggard and George Jones, this lament wearing the mask of a bottoms-up anthem can explore complex psychological states: jaunty pique combined with despair, recrimination with forgiveness, bitter resentment with critical self-examination.
