The Links Today


You will find Mary performing regularly in the senior market, playing independent and assisted living facilities in Omaha, Lincoln and surrounding areas. Playing music from eras gone by brings back lots of fond memories to our older generation. Mary has also been apart of the Merrymakers nonprofit organization in Omaha since 2010.  Diana retired in 2023 but joins Mary on occasion as a special guest.


 

Mary Link - Vocals/Guitar

 

I was born & raised in Omaha, Nebraska and fell in love with country music at a very young age. I was taught to play bass from my Aunt Tootie, and was thrilled to have music around me. I just couldn't get enough! I joined my first band at the age of 12, and have been singing and playing ever since. After graduating from Millard South High School, I couldn't wait to go into music full time. That's all I ever wanted to do! I’m so thankful that I had the opportunity to meet and start my music career with my good friend and mentor "Johnny Ray Gomez." He truly taught me how to be a professional performer & entertainer. "Thank you so much Johnny Ray"...

In 1985, I moved to Reno, Nevada,  married Jimmy Link, and became one of "The Links". We performed the Las Vegas, Reno & Tahoe circuit together and of course, the Midwest. Now, after raising our two boys and living back here in Omaha, we are still having fun entertaining audiences. I feel so blessed to also be performing with my very dear friend, Diana Sapp.  We started together with our first band, "Young & Restless", back in 1975.

Life is so good and I am so thankful...

Diana Van Moorleghem - Vocals/Keyboards

 

Born in Keosauqua, Iowa and raised in Omaha, Nebraska I am truly a midwest girl. Even though my parents were not musical I attribute my love for music, especially country, to my mother who played records every night as the final tasks were being done for the day.

I have had the joy of singing and playing keyboard for several local groups since I began my musical career in the late 70’s. I am now currently performing with The Links originally from Reno, Nevada. As a part of these various groups I had the opportunity to perform with many accomplished artists including my all time favorite Reba McEntire.

I feel very blessed with my God given talents and I look forward to singing and playing for you in the very near future.
