The golden age of Irish music: The cultural impact of 78 RPM recordings in Ireland and Irish America 1900–1960
No full textThis dissertation examines the impact that early 78 rpm recordings had on the cultural and ethnic identities of Irish people in both Ireland and Irish America during the first half of the twentieth century. It raises questions about what is considered Irish in the context of both the traditional and popular music recorded at the time. The author reviews the history of Irish music before and after mechanical sound reproduction and outlines the technological history concerning the development of phonographs and wax cylinders and gramophones/victrolas and the flat 78 rpm disc. Using an media ecological approach, the author employs Marshall McLuhan\u27s Laws of Media to examine the cultural impact of early recorded media by examining what becomes enhanced, obsolesced, retrieved from the past, and reversed or flipped into when pushed to its limit

No full textOn 17 April 1973, Secretary of Defense Elliott L. Richardson made an announcement that shocked Rhode Islanders. Quonset Point Naval Air Station and the Newport Naval Station would close by the end of the year. There had been no warning. Only the day before, the Pentagon ordered Vice Admiral Stansfield Turner, president of the Naval War College in Newport, to brief Governor Philip Noel on the decision.

Last year was election year.

Inside and Outside the Edward King House
No full textThe Edward King House was the largest and most lavish mansion built in Newport during the city’s rise as a leading American resort just before the Civil War. A Newport native, King made his fortune as a young man in the China trade, a major source of Newport’s wealth during its economic recovery after 1830. King purchased just over eight acres of land overlooking the harbor on a hillside above Spring Street, between West Bowery and Golden Hill Streets. A leading American architect of the day, Richard Upjohn (1802-1878), designed and built King’s mansion between 1845 and 1847. The Edward King House created a fad in Newport for the Italianate style, beginning with new estates built in the neighborhood but quickly spreading down the entire length of Bellevue Avenue as it was extended to the south shore during the early 1850s
