7 - 9 pm -
Bagels & Joe
- 4701 Old Cheney - Lincoln, NE - Just south of 48th &
Old Cheney. It's a Hussie Gig, so of course, it was
bitterly cold and snowy, but that didn't stop the
hardy souls who ventured out in search of a "hot
time in the old town". Honest, we don't attract the
snow, it just seems that way! Thanks to all of you
who came out to share a fun evening, and start off
2010 with a song or two. |
|
We are not booking further in
January or February 2010,
because of special work assignments in our day jobs
which will take most of our time,
and Barb is getting married on February 2nd!

RESCHEDULED
for SATURDAY, March 13, 2010 |
Deer Springs
Winery - 16255 Adams Street, Lincoln, NE (162nd
and Adams) Our St. Pat's Day gig was just a total
success last year. And we can't wait to show you
what we have in store for this year. Mark your
calendars for the Friday before St. Patrick's Day.
We guarantee to get you in the mood for the Wearin'
of the Green!
Deer Springs had
their computer hacked into in December and in recreating the
info,
they put the wrong date down. We didn't discover this till we
saw the paper Friday morning.
We love playing there and want to help out, so we switched to
Saturday.
Woooo Hoooo! This was huge fun! At 5
pm, there were already two large groups of people there
enjoying the wine, and the whole evening was a hoot!
Thanks to the folks who came down from Omaha, and all
the others who came to celebrate the weekend before St.
Pat's with song and wine! |

NOT the Hussies, but this is a GREAT
gig and we encourage you to attend. Our friend,
Irishman, Máirtín de Cógáin and his buddy Jimmy
Crowley have a group called Captain Mackey's Goatskin
and String Band. They'll be playing in Lincoln for
the Lincoln Irish Dancers Spring Ceili. Come on out and
give a listen, and even dance if you like. They are
totally worth it!!!
www.captainmackey.com
Don and I attended this as "music lovers", not
dancers, and we were in awe of all the folks who came
out to dance and enjoy the great music of Captain
Mackey's! It was great fun! Hope they can come to
Lincoln for a concert some time! |
