Director and curator William R. Robinson explained, "Our exhibits are basically of Spanish-American War content, but we also have displays of local, current interest too. "For example we have a seashell collection donated by a teacher and high school students. We also have the Explosive Ordnance Detachment display used in warning children what kind of devices to beware of. This exhibit I always emphasize to museum visitors especially the little ones. "This is a community project and it needsthe support of everyone with exhibits," he continued. "People are still finding artifacts around base of historic value and they're under the misconception that if they bring them to us, we'll keep them. We like to help identify and &ate the article but we never keep them. Exhibits can be donated on a permanent or temporary basis."

GNAW! ! Yes they really did, according to Lt. Tom Cooney, PWD utilities officer. The lead-covered cable in the above photo encloses 200 pairs of phone lines used as a control cable for radar facilities on Leeward Point. Last week it was discov- ered that some hungry mice had been chewing through the cable, exposing the inside wires and allowing water to short out the system. Evidently, mice need to chew on something semi-hard, such as lead, to keep their front- teeth from- growing excessively long. According to Lt. Cooney, "What they do aboard ship'to reduce this prob- lem is to have all lead cable-wrappings permeated with arsenic." e Page 2--LATE NEWS ROUNDUP Guantanamo Gazette Tuesday, May 28, 1974 LONDON (AP)--A British firm of design engineers an- nounced plans Thursday to produce a giant cargo-carry- ing airship which, it claimed, could operate almost GAZETTEER as cheaply as conventional freight transport by sea.

Clarinet Lament [1936] (New Orleans references) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FS92-mCewJ4 (3:14) Compositional Techniques: ABC ‘dialectical’ Sonata/Allegro type of form; where C = elements of A + B combined; Diminution (the way in which the “Basin St. Blues” chord progression is presented in shorter rhythmic values each time it appears); play chord progression Quoting with a purpose (aka ‘signifying’ – see also Henry Louis Gates) 2.) Lightnin’ [1932] (‘Chorus’ form); reliance on distinctively individual voices (like “Tricky Sam” Nanton on trombone) – importance of the compositional uses of such voices who were acquired by Duke by accretion were an important element of his ‘sonic signature’ – the opposite of classical music where sonic conformity in sound is more the rule in choosing players for ensembles. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3XlcWbmQYmA (3:07) Techniques: It’s all about the minor third (see also discussion of “Tone Parallel to Harlem”) Motivic Development (in this case the minor 3rd; both harmonically and melodically pervasive) The descending diminished 7ths in the Brass in the Intro: The ascending minor third motif of the theme: The extended (“b9”) background harmony in the Saxophones, reiterating the diminished 7th chord from the introduction: Harmonic AND melodic implications of the motif Early use of the octatonic scale (implied at the modulation -- @ 2:29): Delay of resolution to the tonic chord until ms. 31 of 32 bar form (prefigures Monk, “Ask Me Now”, among others, but decades earlier). 3.)

In his fifty-year career he played over 20,000 performances in Europe, Latin America, the Middle East as well as Asia. Simply put, Ellington transcends boundaries and fills the world with a treasure trove of music that renews itself through every generation of fans and music-lovers. His legacy continues to live onward and will endure for generations to come. Wynton Marsalis said it best when he said, “His music sounds like America.” Because of the unmatched artistic heights to which he soared, no one deserves the phrase “beyond category” more than Ellington, for it aptly describes his life as well. When asked what inspired him to write, Ellington replied, “My men and my race are the inspiration of my work. I try to catch the character and mood and feeling of my people.” Duke Ellington is best remembered for the over 3,000 songs that he composed during his lifetime.

I often have trouble remembering when something was published in DEMS, thus I thought to make this Table of Contents for the DEMS Bulletins (with Sjef Hoefsmit's permission, of course). The items below are listed in the order that they were published in DEMS. Issues are arranged in reverse chronological order. Each item consists of the DEMS issue and the title and page number of each article. You can search the article titles using the search function on your internet brower, which in Netscape is Ctrl + F (both keys at the same time). Thus, if you remember reading about a good place to buy discographies somewhere in a DEMS Bulletin, hit Ctrl + F, type discog into the search window (you don't have to type the whole word) and hit enter. You will be taken to the following entry: 2001/3 DEMS 4 : Discographies available from Arthur Newman Here you learn that Arthur Newman is the man and that the information you seek is in the 2001 DEMS Bulletin, issue number 3, on page 4. Admittedly you can only find entries if you remember a word from the title of the DEMS article, but I still found this useful. I began with the most current DEMS Bulletin and am working backwards.
