When Caleb Carr; one of the 101 men who purchased Conanicut and Dutch Islands in 1657; petitioned the General Assembly to incorporate Jamestown in 1678; the town had 150 inhabitants. The community thrived until the American Revolution; when the British occupation drove away many people. Nicholas Carr and John Eldred both remained; rebelling in their own ways. The town recovered slowly; and its character changed with modernized modes of transportation. Steam ferries; introduced in 1873; ushered in an era of resort hotels; affluent summer visitors; and a service economy. The West Passage bridge in 1940 brought permanent residents with off-island occupations and interests. The East Passage bridge (1969) and the replacement West Passage bridge (1992) created a suburban atmosphere enlivened by a continuing influx of summer vacationers. Most newcomers revel in the island�s beauty and are intent on keeping Jamestown the peaceful haven that attracted them.

Priceless!By Steve SwellThis book is a game changer for all who care about music; art and how and why one should pursue ones individual course while acknowledging a group/human/community dynamic to all we do. So many years people have been dissecting harmolodics making it complicated and ultimately missing the mark. Here it is laid out in Master Colemans own words and it couldnt be more easy to understand. Harmolodics is; in one word: love. Stephen Rush has done a remarkable job in bringing to anyone who really loves Ornettes music and improvising and composing out beyond all the cliches and towards an understanding what this uniquely American genius managed through much adversity to give to all of us.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.

Highly recommended even if the technical part of it may be difficult to understand; his voice is real and his reasoning profoundly interesting. For listeners of his music; it might be precious to learn what stands behind it and has guided him through all these years.8 of 13 people found the following review helpful. Warning- You need to be able to read Music.By jamesjazzyRating: 1 Star for me; probably 5 stars if you can read music; hence 3 stars. This book is primarily for people that know how to read music as a lot of the pages show scales; bars; chords and notes (not even sure what the technical word is it for it) but I cant read music so Im not able to understand the book. There is some text and reading with Ornettes philosophies on life but mostly technical breakdowns of how his songs are written with direct analysis of the actual musical structure of written music....which Im lost.
