THE GREATEST EARS IN TOWN: THE ARIF MARDIN STORY

( Various Artists, 2010, 143 min.)
Monday, August 20 at 6pm
The Greatest Ears in Town is an insightful documentary and testimonial to Arif Mardin; the producer, arranger, musician and multi Grammy award winner. Although not a household name in his own right, the artists that Arif produced and worked with certainly are. Aretha Franklin, Dusty Springfield, The Bee Gees, Chaka Khan, Bette Midler, Barbra Streisand and Norah Jones are just a sprinkling of the talent he humbly nurtured during his lifetime.

Shipwrecks of Rhode Island


Charlotte Taylor, an Archaeologist at the Rhode Island Historical Preservation and Heritage Commission to host speaking engagement on the topic, “Shipwrecks of Rhode Island” at the Maury Loontjens Memorial Library during the town-wide celebration of Narragansett – Gansett Days.

Join us on Sat., Sept. 15, 2018 at 2 PM and learn how Rhode Island, the Ocean State, has more shipwrecks per square mile than any other state! This presentation documents the history of numerous shipwrecks along the coast of Narragansett, going as far back as the 17th century. Many of the shipwrecks from the 19th to the 20th century have been captured in dramatic photographs, and these pictures show the variety of vessels that traveled Rhode Island’s waters back when the ocean was the primary transportation corridor and the many ways things went terribly wrong for them. Ms. Charlotte Taylor, has been part of archaeological survey projects on several of the shipwrecks included in this presentation. Please register.
