After helping her team win the
Stanley Cup, Hussie Deb got to pose with the
trophy. Okay, she IS posing with the real
Stanley Cup, but she did NOT assist in any wins.
The Cup was on tour through Lincoln to mark the
announcement of the City's new Ice Center in
late December of 2007. And since Deb and her
husband are such Hockey fans (well they ARE),
they both had their pictures taken with it. And
Barb is pretty sure Deb was told NOT to touch
it...and you see how that caution worked!.
Plans for 2008...After the success
of our little CD Sampler in 2007, we will be
devoting time to completing our first
full-length CD this year. Also, for all you
folks who asked us to do this...We want to try
to put out a Christmas CD in time for the end of
the year. Overly ambitious? Perhaps, but we'll
give it a shot. We have a couple of songs
already recorded, and we've made a list of what
we want to include, so we're off to a good
start! Stay tuned! |

6:30 - 7:30 pm -
Savannah Pines
- 3900 Pine Lake Road, Lincoln, NE. Residents &
Guests Program. This is also open to the
public. It is in their great theatre!
As always, it was great fun performing at
Savannah Pines. The audience included several guests
as well as residents and everyone there, including
us, had a great time. We enjoyed chatting with folks
afterwards and look forward to seeing how one
gentleman does learning to play his new ukulele!
Another gentleman had played in dance bands in his
younger days, so the nice things he had to say about
our music were especially meaningful. |

7 - 9 pm -
Thé Cup - 643
South 25th - Kristin and her staff have
wonderful soups and sandwiches as well as organic
tea, coffee & pastries. It's a super performing
space, so come early for food, and stay for the
music and laughter. Special Note:
Don Bennett will be playing for 30 minutes
during our break! It may have been cold outside,
but the entertainment was hot on the inside. It was
a full house and, as Deb noted, it was enough to
warm the cockles of our hearts (and, she added,
there's nothing better than hot cockles on a cold
night!) We debuted several new songs,
including a tribute to Bo Pelini, written by Barb.
She continues to deserve her title, "Queen of the
Short Shelf-Life Song." In fact, the Bo Pelini song
was so popular, we played it by request three times
during the performance, a first even for the
Hussies! Don Bennett, guitar and banjo player
extraordinaire, kept the music going while we took a
break. Life doesn't get much better! Special thanks
to Kristin & Mike and all the staff at Thé
Cup for their "TLC" of the audience and the
musicians! |

Barb will be doing the pre-talk
for the
Natalie MacMaster Concert at the Lied
Performing Arts Center in Lincoln, NE. Wow! What
a memorable evening. The music was super, and Barb
got to help sell CD's for the Natalie MacMaster
band! How the heck did that happen? Well, prior to
the pre-talk, Barb was chatting with the lovely lady
who was "womaning" the CD table. And Janelle said
that if she looked really busy at the break to feel
free to come help. She did! And Janelle turned out
to be none other than young Nathanial Smith's mom!
If you don't know who Nat is, he's a cello virtuoso,
and just 14 years old. He's touring with the band.
Check out the site above. What a hoot! |

7 - 8 pm -
Brentwood Estates - 1111 South 70th -
Residents and Guests program. A Valentine's Day
Show!! What a wonderful Valentine's Day we had at
Brentwood Estates! Everyone was so nice to us. We
had a packed room, with most of the folks wearing
red, and everyone loved the music and the typical
Hussie humor. We had so many people come up
afterwards to tell us how much they loved the show.
We even met a gentleman who had been a musician in
the Red Skelton and Ozzie Nelson bands!? Wow - how
cool is that!? And the Bo Pelini song continues to
be a HUGE hit! |
|
Mar 4, 2008 |
7 - 8 pm -
Legacy Retirement Home - 56th & Pioneers,
Lincoln, NE. Residents & Guests Program. We
always have great fun at these Legacy gigs, and tonight
was no exception. We heard someone going through the
hall after their evening meal telling everyone that "The
Hussies are Here". We had a very nice crowd, and they
really enjoyed singing along with old favorites. We
pulled out some new "old" songs for an early St. Pat's
songfest, and also used the electronic bagpipes on a
couple of crowd pleasers. All in all, a super evening
with lots of old friends. And yes, the Bo Pelini song
was very well received! Thanks, Carla & Nancy! |

Mar 14, 2008 |
7 - 9 pm -
Thé Cup - 643
South 25th - just North of Randolph in the renovated
Pepsi Bottling building. Kristin and her staff have
wonderful soups and sandwiches as well as organic
tea, coffee & pastries. It's a super performing
space, so come early for food, and stay for the
music. |
|
Schedule Note regarding
future performances at
Thé Cup
that had been on our
schedule. |
We've been playing at
Thé Cup since
shortly after they opened and we feel privileged
that they like our music and the crowds we bring in
enough to have booked us last year as often as we
wanted. This year we even booked ahead every
other month through the end of the year. HOWEVER,
their business has been so successful that they are
going in a new direction as of April 1st. They'll be
focusing on a growing catering clientele and will be
closing each evening at 4 pm (including Fridays) to handle those customers.
So, unless they change their plans, this means no more evening gigs at Thé
Cup. It's a loss of a great performance area for not
only us, but also for the many other Lincoln
musicians who have utilized the space on weekends
and through the week. And it's a loss for the fans
who come enjoy the music, and also the wonderful
food. Kristin and Mike have been good friends to us
and our fellow musicians, and we can only hope that
they will someday find time to open their doors
again to music.
We'll miss playing there. |

Whoopee! We're

Mar 15, 2008 |
2:00 - 2:45 pm - Annual St.
Patrick's Day Fundraiser at St. Patrick's Church,
6120 Morrill Ave., Lincoln. NE. This is a fantastic
way to spend the Saturday before St. Pat's. There
will be bands all day, and plenty of homemade corned
beef with all the trimmings, as well as plenty of
green beer! So come on out and enjoy the music and
fun! Plan on spending a few hours at least and bring
the family for the great fundraiser! The Ides of
March proved to be lucky for all concerned this
year. This was SUCH fun!!! A huge hall, packed full
of families and friends, food, music, and
more...what's not to like! Great job, Rand, on
organizing this annual fundraiser. And thanks for
inviting us to perform. We're already looking
forward to next year! |

Mar 17, 2008 |
6:30 - 7:30 pm -
Savannah Pines
- 3900 Pine Lake Road, Lincoln, NE. Residents &
Guests St. Patrick's Day Program. This is also open to the
public. What a perfect way to end our
series of St. Pat's Day...performing in the Savannah
Pines theatre to a large, enthusiastic crowd. We
even were visited by a leprechaun who danced a
lively jig to one of our songs. But we weren't
fooled...it was Ann Bremer, and she is an AWESOME
dancer! Thank you to everyone who made it such a fun
evening! |
|
Mar 25, 2008 |
7 - 8 pm - Legacy
Estates - 7200 Van Dorn, Lincoln, NE. Residents
& Guests Program. Once again, the Legacy
showed us a great audience, and we showed them some
great tunes. We were still in our St. Patrick's Day mode
for part of the show, and the crowd sure seemed to
appreciate the songs and the humor. And yes, the Bo
Pelini Song is still a hit! Thank you, Jenny, for always
making us feel so welcome, and thank you, residents and
guests who make us feel so special. We'll see you all
soon! |

Celebrate the last party event at
PO Pears, and help support the Lincoln Library's
Heritage Room |
6 - 6:50
pm - Wee-Pre-BEE-Spree! We'll be doing
the Pre-Show for the 24th Annual
Heritage Room Spelling Bee at P.O.
Pears in Lincoln. SPELLING STARTS at 7 pm.
The Spelling Bee benefits the Heritage Room of
Nebraska Authors at the Bennett Martin Public
Library in downtown Lincoln. WOW, and double WOW!
This was our 4th year playing this gig, and it gets
better and better. Bob and all the staff at Pears
had the kitchen and bar up and running (no small
feat after being closed), and it was just like old
times at the Bee, except we all knew it was the last
one at Pears, so it was tinged with sadness. But the
spellers were awesome and the fun crowd was over
200! Channel 10/11 had some great coverage of the
Bee, and our Bo Pelini song was again a crowd
pleaser. In fact, there were some fun gals at one of
the tables who know Mrs. Pelini. They really liked
the song and they asked for a copy of the words to
show her, and so we were honored and happy to
oblige. What fun! (Barb was thrilled to drink the very
last bottle of Guinness ever served at PO Pears!)
Deb & Barb warm up the
crowd at the Pre-Bee |
Part of the 200 + people at the 24th
Annual Spelling Bee |

shops. |

April 25, 2008 |
8 - 10 pm - Mo Java Cafe & Roasting Co.,
2649 N. 48th, Lincoln,
NE. Always fun, and always great food, coffees,
teas...and you can
celebrate ARBOR DAY with the Hussies! It'll be
TREE-mendous! And it WAS! There was even a "tree"
that kept trying to grab Barb's guitar through the
evening...though to be fair, it was mostly Barb's
fault. We had a great crowd of our "regulars" and
some new folks, too. All joined in the singing and
the fun and it was a typical Hussie evening...lots
of music and lots of laughs. Thank you all so much
for coming out on a chilly evening to help us fog up
the windows at Mo Java. Thanks to Jim Lee for the
plastic pig nose and for Barb's new musical
instrument...an ocarina! Yes, she's learning
songs already. Deb has even mentioned getting one! |
April 27, 2008
Sunday Gig!
Odell is just down Hwy 77, and south of Beatrice -
60 miles
|
1 - 3 pm -
Old
West Trail Center, Odell, NE - NOTE: The
gig is for the Old West Trail Center, which will be open
for tours that day, HOWEVER, the gig will take place at
the Community Center down the street. It's across from
the park and you can't miss it! So take an afternoon jaunt and come on
down and see this great little piece of history...and
hear us, too!
Link to Google Map. Well this was just
fantastic. We came into Odell and there was a sign with
our name on it! Cool! And Judy and all the folks at the
Community Center and the Trail Center were so great. We
had a super crowd and Deb's sister Peg, and her husband
and family drove up from Kansas to hear us, so it was a
very special day in more ways than one. Afterwards, we
chatted with a lot of folks then went down the street to
tour the Old West Trail Center. And we were SOOOOO
impressed. If you want to take a lovely drive and have a
great lunch at the bar/cafe there, then see the Old West
Trail Center some weekend, it's WELL worth the effort.
Check their website above for special events. And the
countryside just south of Beatrice on Hwy 112 is
gorgeous. Thanks to everyone in Odell for a wonderful
time. We hope to see you again!

7 - 8 pm - Legacy
Terrace - 57th & Fremont, Lincoln,
NE.
Residents & Guests Program.
Another fine evening with the folks at Legacy
Terrace. Luckily Barb had her BP Tipper on hand as
promised last time we were here...because someone asked!
We played several new, old tunes and we had a request
for The Scotsman song, and as usual we happily obliged.
Thank you all for coming out to fill the dining room
with fun and laughter and some great singing from the
audience, too. |

10 am - Annual Mother and Daughter
Brunch - Frieden's Lutheran Church, 6th & D
Streets, Lincoln, NE. We played here last year and had
such a good time, and we're thrilled to be invited back.
What a super time at this annual Brunch! And the
food...cooked and served by the men...it was delicious.
There were over 75 mothers and daughters of all ages,
and from all parts of the world, and the newly remodeled
church basement was filled with love and laughter on
this day before Mothers' Day. Thank you so much for
asking us to play again this year and be a part of this
special day, and thanks for being such a fun
audience...and great singers! |
|
May 13, 2008 |
6:30 - 7:30 pm The Arbors, 3777 N. 58th, Lincoln,
NE - Residents' Program. This was our first time at
The Arbors, and we feel so lucky to have been asked. The
residents have varying degrees of dementia and
Alzheimer's and music is a common language that we were
able to share with them. Both Deb and I have had dearly
loved relatives with dementia, and this meant so much to
us to be able to share an evening of songs and laughter
with the folks at The Arbors. It was humbling and
inspiring at the same time. In fact, we played a half
hour extra, just because we were all having so much fun!
We hope to be back soon. |
May 18, 2008
Sunday Afternoon |
Open House 1 - 4 pm - Hussies play from 2 - 4 pm New Office location for

listen to us. And the munchies were tasty, too! |

by all. |

June 12, 2008 |
6:15 - 6:45 pm -
Van Dorn Villa - 3001 South 51st Street -
Lincoln, NE - Residents & Guests Program. This
was our first time at the Villa, and we had a ball. They
want us back, and we're so pleased. What a fun group of
folks, and it's a lovely setting for music in their
dining room. The Bo Pelini Song was requested and
was...of course, a hit. After we played we packed up and
dropped in on Bob (of Bob Stick fame) at Madonna. He's
recuperating from some knee surgery and doing really
well. So we play a few songs for him! Get well, soon,
Bob! |

songs and chat. |

7 pm - Private Function - WW II Navy Reunion - LST-944 - Hampton
Inn, Lincoln, NE We are thrilled and honored
to be providing the entertainment after the reunion
dinner!
Find out more about LST's
in general, and LST-944 in particular.
This was the 13th reunion of this great group of
folks (and their families) from all over the U.S.
Sadly, it was their last because of the
difficulty in traveling for a lot of the veterans. We
were recommended to them as entertainment by friend
Ann Bremer who is the activities director at
Savannah Pines. We prepared some sassy songs of the sea, as well as
some of our regular tunes and we were absolutely
awed by the response. They made us feel like members
of their LST-944 family. A number of the veterans
and their families were from southern states, and
afterwards one of the wives taught us "In the
Pines", by playing Barb's guitar with several
joining in on the vocals. We were also given some
special Louisiana Easter candy (Elmer's Pecan
Egg...a pecan and caramel covered nougat egg &
Elmer's Gold Brick Egg...a pecan meltaway) that is only made
once a year. It was lovingly carried on ice to the
reunion, and YES, it was delicious! This was one of
the best gigs we've ever played. Thank you all so
much.
After the event, Deb had the terrific idea to donate
our fee to the Heartland Honor Flight efforts of the
VFW. So that's what we're doing.

3:30 - 4:15 pm on the MAIN STAGE -
Celebrate Lincoln Festival in downtown
Lincoln. This was our first time on the main
stage and we had a ball. Admittedly, it was a
different experience, with the seated crowd under
the tent all the way across the street from the
stage, but by the time we were halfway into the set,
we had folks strolling by the stage and hanging
around to hear more. And one fun guy on the other
street corner (by the beer tent) who absolutely
loved and cheered for anything we did. Thanks to the
organizers and to all who came out to enjoy
Celebrate Lincoln. |
|
June 22nd thru August 31st We are limiting bookings
to just a couple in
July and August (see below)

July 2, 2008 |
6:30 - 7:30 pm - Fairbury, NE -
Cedarwood Assisted Living - Resident's
Program - We're really looking forward to this
special Fourth of July Program! We had a ball
here at Cedarwood. It was a new venue for us, and
the trip there was truly worth the effort. It's a
lovely facility, and the staff and residents were
ready for some Hussie tunes and fun. We seemed to go
over well with our mix of patriotic and nostalgic
songs, as well as some fun newer ones...yes, the Bo
Pelini song was a hit.. The drive
home was enhanced by one of the most beautiful
sunsets we can recall in a long time. We look
forward to going back to Cedarwood to see everyone
again! |

7:30 - 8:30 pm -
Homestead
National Monument Saturday Night Campfire
Series, Beatrice, NE - We'll be playing at the
Homestead Education Center (the old visitors'
center). This is part of their regular summer series
and we're really excited to perform. Oh WOW! What
a super evening at Homestead. A crowd of 73
(according to the staff) packed the inside
performance space, and I think we were all glad to
be inside with a heat index well into the 90's. We
had folks there almost as soon as we got there at
6:15 pm. There were a number from Odell, NE, where
we performed earlier this summer, and it was great
to see everyone again. It was a wonderful group of
folks who came for the gig and they were ready for
some fun. I think we delivered. We know we sure had
fun and the crowd was really into the songs and the
merriment. We had our new printing of the Sassy
Sampler CD's with the Bo Pelini song added and they
were popular after the gig. Thanks, Todd at
Homestead for giving us the chance to do one of the
Campfire shows, and thank you so much, Gene and all
the staff for your kindnesses. We hope to see you
all again at Homestead. On the way home,
Barb got stopped by the State Patrol but they
weren't looking to buy a CD. Deb laughed all the way
home and so did Barb. And thanks to the officer for
being so nice...we're sure it will be a good story
for her to tell, too. You'll have to ask Barb about
it...there may even be a song about it someday. |

Libraries Director, Carol Connor. We'll be doing two
short sets. We are so honored to be asked to

awesome, and so funny! Thanks for asking us to help
with this special evening. |

of health and wellness exhibits, as well as several
bands with employees in them. Really well done! |

7 - 9 pm - Blue Moon Coffee - South end of the
mall at 70th & Vine, Lincoln, NE - We've played
at Blue Moon in Hastings, NE, and are really looking
forward to checking out the space at the one here in
Lincoln. Come out and show them what fun a Hussie
Crowd can be!!! Well, I know we'll never forget
this gig. Not only is the venue very nice, and the
crowd was just super...a nice mix of our "regulars"
and some folks we haven't seen in a while, as well
as a very nice lady from Germany...but the evening
had some added surprises...not all good, but very
exciting. After a warm-up at Barb's house for the
gig, Barb & Deb were headed to the Blue Moon in
separate cars. Barb was stopped for a light on 70th
street, near East High, when a guy plowed into the
rear of her vehicle doing over 40 miles an hour. He
was looking at something his girlfriend was showing
him and didn't notice the cars ahead had all
stopped. Yikes. Barb's van was pushed into the two
cars in front of her by the impact and instruments
and equipment were all pushed toward the front of
the vehicle. After the pieces stopped flying around
and the dust had settled, Barb checked herself and
checked the instruments and the equipment. Only the
épinette was damaged. So while the police officer
wrote the other driver a citation, Don arrived with
his pickup, and he and Deb loaded everything and
took it to the gig and set it up. Barb's van was
towed, so Don came back and got her and the gig went
on as scheduled. HUSSIES NEVER QUIT !!!! |

our toes! Thanks for inviting us back, and we'll see you
soon! |

6:30 pm -
Frieden's Lutheran Church, 6th & D
Streets, Lincoln, NE - WELCA Annual Potluck Supper.
We played for these great folks last year and this
year at their
annual Mother-Daughter Banquet, and we're excited to
be coming back for the Annual Potluck Supper at this
historic church. This was such fun. All of the
folks who had been to our Mother-Daughter Brunch
performances the past two years were so excited to
have the chance to bring their husbands. And they
weren't disappointed, judging from the comments. Deb
remarked how pleased we were to be the Frieden's
Church "House Band". Even though we're really not,
we just love playing for them all...no matter what
the occasion. |

Oct 16, 2008 7 - 9 pm HUSSIES HOUSE CONCERT -
Denice Franke
- Texas Singer Songwriter. She's performed previously in
Lincoln at a LAFTA house concert, and at the 2007
PlainSong Folk Festival...and each performance adds to
her fan base here in the Midwest. This will be a casual
concert. Pizza provided. Bring the beverage of your
choice.
|
 |
Denice has long been a force in
Texas music.
She’s worked with Nanci Griffith, Eric Taylor,
Lyle Lovett and others. Her voice embodies all
the richness of the
Texas
Gulf
Coast, and one
listen will make you a fan for life.
Her new CD is the best yet!
Sound
samples at
www.denicefranke.com
Nashville City News Review, Sept
2008…"But
whether singing in a sparse or extensive setting,
Franke’s mellow, intense vocals prove both
delightful and compelling on Gulf Coast Blue.”
Billboard Magazine Review, Aug
2008…“Denice
Franke writes vivid, compelling musical short
stories that adeptly blend empathy and danger on
this third album…Her
lithe, mesmerizing voice and acoustic guitar are at
the heart of each track, and Mark Hallman's
sympathetic production advances each song with bent
electric guitar notes, percussion jabs or keyboard
sounds.” |
This was super fun. Denice is a great friend of the
Hussies (and Don), and it was super to be able to
welcome her back for this first House Concert at the
new place. We had 21
folks in attendance, and a great time was had by
all. Buddy the Cat made his usual appearance
on-stage, but firmly declined Denice's offer to take
him to Wisconsin with her by turning around and
exiting the room. Thanks to Denice for sending along
these photos! |

7 - 8 pm - Legacy
Estates - 7200 Van Dorn, Lincoln, NE. Residents
& Guests Program. It's just always just a
pleasure to be at the Estates. We feel like family
there, and tonight was no exception. In fact, even more
so because of all the residents' families in attendance.
We even had folks come early to watch us warm up. We
tried out a couple of new songs as well as some old
fav's. And we incorporated one that Denice Franke showed
us...a Robert Frost poem set to music. Lovely! Thank you
all. We'll look forward to our return visit. |

Oct 28, 2008 |
7 - 8 pm - Legacy
Terrace - 57th & Fremont, Lincoln,
NE.
Residents & Guests Program.
It was all Treats, and no Tricks...even though
Halloween was just around the corner. We had a ball, and
we know the residents did, too, because they told us so.
We even had some of the kids from the wait staff come
out and sit for a song or two after they finished their
shift. We love the Legacy folks and always appreciate
all they do to make us feel like family. Thanks you,
Tonia, and everyone! We'll see you in a few months! |
