5 THINGS: Young Musicians and MCs

Here are the (more than) Five Things for Friday, May 10, 2013:

Splendid music, from alums, faculty and students! For just $10, you can attend “Melodies Eternally New,” a special concert at the University of Rhode Island at 7:30 p.m. Heck, it’s even cheaper if you’re a student or a senior! For more info, click here.

“The honorable gentleman had better spare his interrogations if they are as senseless as that one.” – Charles Tupper. Here are today’s government meetings:

• The Narragansett Prevention Partnership meets at 9 a.m.
• No meetings are scheduled for South Kingstown.

Mmm, delicious vegetables and produce! Goose Pond Farm of West Kingston is offering community supported agriculture accounts from this season to Dec. 31. For more info, click here.

Has the time or date or details of one of your events changed? If you posted the event yourself on our site, then remember – You can always change the details if you’re logged into your Patch account. Failing that, leave a comment on the item in question! The issue is that lately, people have been e-mailing me, and depending on the time of the day, it can take me anywhere from 30 minutes or 30 hours to get to the item, unfortunately. As a result, I encourage you all to be as proactive as possible!

Oh no! Maybe there seriously aren’t that many events today, given that it’s Confederate Memorial Day. As a result, our events calendar for today is a bit barren. If you’re having an event, please let us know in the comments. Also, make sure it isn’t left out in the future – Submit it via this link (as long as you’re logged into your Patch account).

Sign up for our daily newsletter! Hey, I realize we have a lot of neat features and knick-knacks on the site, so it can be confusing to keep up with it all. Want just one simple, easy to read daily digest? Sign up for our e-mail newsletter here then. It comes out between 6 a.m. and 7 a.m. roughly, every single day of the week. Amazing, I know.

It was one of the favorites of The Fonz, I’m sure. On this day in 1954, Bill Haley and His Comets released “Rock Around The Clock,” which would became the first rock album to reach No. 1.

Bust a move! Happy 46^th birthday to Marvin Young, better known as Young MC.
