At least one good thing has happened to Omaha musician David Murphy in 2020.
He finished a new album, âThe Lesser Gabors,â to follow 2014âs âMy Fraudulent Memoirs.â Itâs his first recording of his own songs since he suffered an ocular stroke a few years back.
Slowdowns during the pandemic gave him more opportunities to focus on his 15-track collection, available at davidpmurphy.bandcamp.com or davidpmurphy.com.
âI had time to work and polish up new songs, too, and Iâm proud of the result,â he said. âLearning to navigate recording with a visual impairment has certainly been, shall we say, interesting. But hey, Iâm grateful to still be here.â

While the pandemic has impacted all of our lives, we do our best to continue the holiday traditions that make this season memorable.
And it just isn’t Christmas without “A Christmas Carol!” Director Kimberly Faith Hickman joined Mike Hogan “Live & Local” to discuss how changes were made so everyone can safely experience Omaha’s favorite holiday tradition in a re-imagined small cast version with eight cast members, filmed, and ready for streaming directly into everyone’s home!
In this two-part interview, Kimberly chats about the difficult decision to cancel the live performances and how the team at Omaha Community Playhouse came together to film this holiday classic and have it ready for all to enjoy in a safe, healthy, and comfortable atmosphere.
