It wasn't until preparing for today's video that we noticed 3 artists are featured prominently. There is still a variety of others that are also looking for new homes!
Stop in between noon & 8, enjoy a browse around the shop, and see what else has arrived since your last visit.

Lots of live music around town, baseball, and other outdoor events going on. If you're hunting for indoor events, there's a Cajun Creole festival at the mall, or go eat, drink, & be merry with the Lakeland Sea Shanty Club at VFW Post 8002 at 5pm.
Whatever you do, we hope you have a great weekend!

We're back with part 2 for today's posts. Be sure check out the first one if you missed it!

A stack of 45s are hitting the new arrivals crate today. May have to zoom in on the photos to see some of the titles shown here. There are five decades of music in this batch, from the 50s to the 90s, with lots of great artists and tunes!
Stop in today, between noon and 8pm, and enjoy the hunt for your favorite songs!

We hope you enjoy the weekend, the vintage market downtown(4-9pm), many other events, and if needed, are able to take advantage of the free microchip and rabies vaccine event at the SPCA(started at 8am, til supplies run out).

Good morning!

This is post 1 of 2 for today, so be sure to check them both out. You've got time if you're waiting in line at the SPCA, for the free rabies vaccine and microchip for your furry family member!
First, here is a peek at some pre-loved stock heading out; some are still sealed. They are in the process of being priced today, since pricing the 45s(part 2) took some time.

Today's album is for NASA/space fans!

On July 20, 1969, the Apollo 11 lunar module touched down on the Moon, with Michael Collins, Buzz Aldrin, and Neil Armstrong on board.
Roughly 6 hours later, Neil and Buzz would step onto the Moon's surface.
The quote every school kid learns is at the top of the front jacket.
"That's one small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind." Neil Armstrong
