Hussain comes to the Lied
HUSSAIN from page 9
“You’ve always heard about him,
and I know back home in India I prob
ably couldn’t have gone to a concert
like this, because they only perform in
larger cities and the tickets are so
expensive,” he said. “The average tick
et price in America is like $65, and
we’re a student organization so we’re
really proud that we can keep the tick
et prices so low, so students can actual
ly attend.”
The “Masters of Percussion 2000,”
which is being held at the Lied Center
for Performing Arts, costs $15 and^
$25, depending on the seat location. It
features six percussionists plus the
famous Ustad Sultan Khan on sarangi,
a classical Indian stringed instrument.
Brent Martin, a Raag member,
said this is a show that truly breaks
down musical and cultural barriers.
“If you like rhythm, if you like per
cussion, it will change the way you
think about those two things, and it
may very well change the way you
think about music, period,” he said. “If
you’ve never been to one of these con
certs, this would be the perfect oppor
tunity to go, because it is at once tradi
tional and contemporary, and it’s so
rooted in rhythm, which is something
-everyone can understand.”
£ He said that while Hussain defi
nitely was known for his classical
Indian abilities, he was also a varied
artist.
“Classical Indian music used to be
extremely rigid, and I think it’s kind of
loosened it up a little bit,” Martin said.
“He’s been able to mesh them and
weave them together. His world music
collaborations are almost unprece
dented.”
Raag also has organized a public
lecture by Hussain at 11:15 a.m. today
in the Southeast Community College
Student Activity Center, 84th and O
streets.
Martin said he was sure Lincoln
residents would be amazed by the
rhythmic brilliance of Hussain, just as
he was the first time he heard
Hussain’s work.
“The first time I heard his music I
swore it was whole ensemble of peo
ple playing it,” he said. “It sounds like
he has about eight arms and 40 fin
gers, all perfectly synchronized.”
Sidetrack fills up on game days
SIDETRACK from page 1
a microphone in his hand under the
spotlight.”
Durand smiled as she finished her
story.
“He became 35 years old. He
spread his feet and said, it was a glori
ous game!’ He was the coach again,
and that was a good memory for me.”
Durand, who described herself as a
very identifiable Democrat, said she’s
also had the likes of Bob Kerrey and
Ben Nelson in The Sidetrack, but she
said anyone is welcome.
“Weil even let Republicans in
here,” she joked. “You have to, or you
wouldn’t be able to make a buck here
in Nebraska.”
Durand said her most memorable
” This is a place where fun comes first
and drinking comes second.”
moments from the last 25 years have
occurred on game days.
She recalled a time they were hav
ing a national championship party and
had just finished talking over the
microphone about former Husker
football player and Heisman trophy
winner Johnny Rodgers. Right at that
time, he walked through the back door.
“He began running through tables
like a broken field runner and doing
the Heisman pose,” she said.
Joyce Durand
owner of The Sidetrack
Another memorable time was
when the Huskers won the National
Championship in 1995.
“We had four guys with ‘N’s
shaved in their heads, and some people
were so excited I thought they were
gonna wet their pants before the game
started,” she said.
Afterward, when people were run
ning around in the cold, they would
stop inside the bar to warm up, then go
running outside again.
“They were so happy,” she said. “I
know some people might think ‘Why
be so happy over a football game?’ but
I think it’s symbolic.
“People, especially when they’re
young, want to experience joy and cel
ebration. What’s wrong with that?”
When asked if things would
change in her bar if the team took a
turn for the worse, she said definitely
not.
“There was a time when jokes
were going around when the Huskers
weren’t doing as well, but they never
went over the microphone in my bar,
and they never will.”
She even joked that the band takes
credit for the football team not losing a
game last season after its loss to Texas.
She said it was because of a song
the band did after the loss.
Some of the lyrics went, “I’m tired
of my old Ford, I want a Lexus, and
we’re tired of losing football games to
Texas.”
“They didn’t lose again,” she said.
“We feel we’re mainly responsible
for the fact that we only lost one game
all season,” Durand said.
Had she written that song earlier,
NU may have been national champi
ons, she said.
Durand’s light-hearted spirit has
rubbed off on the atmosphere that
comes across in her bar.
Cheryl Connor, who has worked at
the bar since it opened and described
Durand as her best friend, said The
Sidetrack has sustained its popularity
simply because it is fun.
“Here, the audience participates
with the band,” she said.
Throughout the year, the band
serves as a live karaoke band.
“They are such good musicians,
they can make anyone sound good,”
Connor said:
Durand and Connor both noted
that The Sidetrack has been around so
long they are now entertaining a sec
ond generation of patrons.
Durand also agreed that what
makes her bar unique is that it is fun.
“This is a place where fun comes
first and drinking comes second. If
you just want to drink, you can get a
12-pack and go home.”
As for the future of The Sidetrack,
Durand said she doesn’t plan to shut it
down soon.
“It’s a fun place,” she said. “I may
die up on stage, I don’t know, but it
would be a hard act to follow.”
