Dr.
Daniel T. Neely
Hello there! I am an ethnomusicologist with a specialty in Jamaican music (particularly the history and development of mento),
and intersts in sound studies (especially the politics and
technology of ice cream truck music), music's articulation with
philosophies of humor, and playing traditional Irish music.
I have stopped updating this site! If you have come here looking
for information about me or my academic work, you'll not find much.
However, over at my new
website you can find both new material as well as material that I used
to have posted here. You can find my new website at the following URL:
Again, I will no longer update this site so please update your bookmark!
If you're here to find out about how to get my dissertation, it is available for
order through ProQuest. Armed with the following citation, you will
find it shockingly easy to find:
"Mento, Jamaica's original music": Development, tourism and the nationalist frame.

If
you are affiliated with an institution that subscribes to ProQuest
(say, a college or university), you can obtain a copy through your
library's ProQuest Dissertations & Theses Database. If you have no institutional affiliation (and thus no access to
ProQuest's Dissertations & Theses Database), you can order a copy
through ProQuest's Dissertation Express service. (I find it is easiest to find just by simply using the catalogue number, which is 3310562.)
See you at the new site!
