Music of Ireland By David Marsh
From Sligo to the Ring of Kerry and from Galway Bay to Dublin, Marsh presents various musical styles from the Emerald Isle. He uses many instruments, including the accordion, penny whistle, Northumbrian pipes and bodhran (Irish drum), to perform jigs, reels, rebel songs, and sing-a-longs. His stories tell of Irish legends, elves and fairies, historical events of famine and wars and the joys and sorrows of immigrating to a new land. David has performed Irish folk music for over 20 years with local Irish bands Paddywhack and Ellis Island, the later which can be heard regularly in Omaha and the Kansas City area.

03/17/10 - Women and Leadership
Women Business Owners Network (WBON), Wed., March 17: “Women and Leadership,” presented by Dr. Harriet Gould, Pine Crest Farms Bed & Breakfast. Research clearly identifies that female leaders influence the workplace differently from males. Historically, leadership has been defined by men as few women have had the opportunity to push through the “glass ceiling” and become the CEO. As songwriter Bob Dylan states, Times, they are a changin’. Dylan’s lyrics, originally written as a statement during the Civil Rights movement in the mid 1960s, may be used again today as more and more females shatter the glass ceiling in Fortune 500 companies. Why is this happening? What characteristics do females bring to the table to enhance leadership? Dr. Gould will equip female business leaders and entrepreneurs with tips for enhancing feminine leadership qualities. The Knolls, 2201 Old Cheney Road, Lincoln; 11:30am-1:00pm. Cost is $15 for WBON members and 1st-time guests; $20 for nonmembers; add $5 for late or no reservations. Reservations required by Noon, Friday, March 12. For more information or to register, call 402.434.7926 or visit www.wbon.us.
