Duffy’s begins music series with ‘Guns’
By Geoff McMurtry
Staff Reporter
Last Wednesday night, Duffy’s
Tavern officially opened their new
Bar Review
local music series with the New Brass
Guns. Band and bar both considered
the event a complete success, and it
now looks like local musicians have at
least one more place to play.

A class for certification in the use
of the library’s TRS-80 microcom
puter has been scheduled for Saturday
from 10 to 11:30 a.m. in the fourth
floor auditorium, Bennett Martin
Public Library, 14th and N streets.
The class is free and open to the
public. Class size is limited. To enroll
for the class, contact Information at
the library at 435-2146.
The certification class covers basic
operation of the TRS-80 Model III.

“Surely the students’ noise would
interfere with the recording,” Ritchie
said he thought.
He decided to do the recording
during semester break.
The traffic on 16th Street was the
final obstacle.
Ritchie contacted the mayor’s
office, and with the help of the Lin
coln Police Department he shut down
traffic.
“I had to pay a small fee,” he said,
“ but it was well worth it. Anyone can
have traffic stopped if they want to.
You have to have a reasonably serious
reason for such a request, but anyone
in Lincoln can do this.”
This week the Confidentials will
bring their band of industrial P-funk to
Duffy’s charming little stage. The
Confidentials started out as primarily
a cover band. While playing the cover
songs they liked, the band found a
niche for their sound. The current
eight members have been together for
approximately one year, playing what
drummer Mark Munn calls “1950s
and 1960s, ska, reggae, Motown, and
I guess what you’d call modem rock.”
Duffy’s started their local music
series last week to give local bands a
place to play, and to give people more
i— -H—==
of a chance to see some of the music
Lincoln has to offer. “The closing of
the Drumstick left a void, and we’re
trying to fill some of that,” said co
owner A1 Hummel.
If the enthusiastic response the first
night was any indication, they’re well
on their way. The only hand to play
Duffy’s so far, the New Brass Guns,
expressed unanimous approval of the
new venue.
“I really liked this place — the
atmosphere, the brick walls. It’s a
great place to play,” said bassist Marty
Amsler.

Guitarist Doug Hubncr said, “it’s
more open, not as dirgy as some
places. You can look at traffic out the
window, or watch TV while you’re
playing.”
Owners Hummel and Reg
McMcen were equally pleased with
the results. They both said the first
show went better than expected.
Duffy’s small, comfortable size
could work to an advantage to young,
inexperienced bands unused to unfa
miliar crowds and could become an
excellent proving ground for new
bands who are still trying to pin down
an audience or a style.
Closing the Drumstick was a blow
to new and different music in Lincoln,
but, for one night a week at least, the
local end of It is finally getting a well
deserved boost.

that rest from the pill
is no big deal.
Semicid* works —without hormones. So it’s a great alternative
if your doctor tells you to take that break from the pill. You see,
Semicid has the spermicide doctors recommend most. And it’s
approximately as effective as vaginal foam contraceptives in actual
use, but is not as effective as the pill or IUD. (Some Semicid users
experience irritation in using the product. For best protection against
pregnancy, follow package directions. And it’s essential to insert
Semicid at least fifteen minutes before intercourse.) Now you can avoid
hormones without giving up convenience. With Semicid.
