New Gig

Thu, 29 Nov 2012 00:00:00 -0800

Hi, lately I've been performing as Vale of Paradise with my friend Elizabeth Brauer who plays cello. Right now we've got a local gig in Valparaiso, IN every other Saturday at a place called The Silver Spoon during Brunch from 10am to noon. It's been fun-we play some covers...like Brand New Key and Love Hurts..and some of my songs...that seems to be about all I have time for with everything else going on...

Baby #2

Sat, 23 Apr 2011 00:00:00 -0700

I never wrote about Baby #2 because his birth was a homebirth cluster#$%^ and my tiny little premature baby turned out to have down syndrome of which I was very sad. He is a sweet little boy now and cute cute cute but has some extra delays due to the cluster$%^& surrounding his birth. Maybe I'll post a picture of him...

hi. sorry for the long delay. just busy nesting. baby #2 set for September arrival...all is well so far, just tired now.

I'm now a beekeeper...I purchased one hive and it looks like a swarm settled into an abandoned beebox. The bees are very mellow and don't mind me in my bee suit!

not much going on with music. "jamming" with my cousin's boyfriend out here, he's more of a deadhead so we play some dylan. would like to play some gigs but will take it easy for a while.

hope you're well and enjoying your summer!

Hi there,
sorry for not writing more/sooner. my mom died the end of august and after taking care of her in our home for 9 months..I was a bit drained.

New CD out soon

Mon, 11 Sep 2006 00:00:00 -0700

Hey. Besides adoring Ruby, I've been finishing up the 4th cd, called "Round 3" which was recorded in Chicago at Gravity Studio. The new cd features a cover of "Eye of the Tiger" and different versions of "Drive" and "What Do I Do To Make You Mine" Cover art is a collage...

I can't believe it's been 5 years since the towers came down. I remember it like it was yesterday, working at Calvin Klein in NYC, calling my mother at home in Illinois because we didn't have a tv in the office and she had recently had a seizure and was kind of out of it and I asked her to turn on the news and she said, "lots of smoke"

Don't let 9/11 be an excuse to hate.

Welcome baby Ruby!

Hey, sorry I haven't written for ages. I've been pregnant and barefoot for that matter, and now I am proud to say, I'm a mommy! Ruby was born on May 3rd and she's made me very happy. Sure, she doesn't yet sleep through the night, but...she's got 10 fingers and 10 toes and can see and hear and I'm extremely grateful.

sorry for not writing. Currently, I'm offering to send promo copies of my cds Action Hero Superstar and LESLIE NUSS to whomever asks first come first served with the following requests:
1. you not sell them, but you can give them away
2. you send me back a check or stamps for the postage (honor system here, you'll have to check out the envelope)

Deal? email me and we'll consider it done.

In other news, the FIT (that's Fashion Institute of Technology) newsletter wrote an update on me in their most recent issue (Accessories Design, 1992) and the Chicago Red Eye newspaper did a small story on me getting my belly photographed while pregnant. If I get links for them, I'll post.

In OTHER OTHER news, I have to carve out some time to complete the artwork for my fourth cd, which will feature a cover of the classic rock anthem, "Eye of the Tiger"

stay tuned, join the email list and/or email me to say hello.

much love,
Leslie
