Cheesey Fourth

THE CHEESEBURGERS ARE getting ready for a big show Saturday at the Illinois Veterans Home in Quincy. We are playing on the west side of the grounds by the deer park, from 6:30 to 9 p.m., before the fireworks.

The Quincy Park Band and Zeke Cernea will be on the other side of the grounds, so you can still hear your favorite patriotic music. There will be food vendors, and you can bring your own chairs, blankets and cooler with your favorite beverages to the show.

This is the first time a rock band has played at the Vets Home during the fireworks. I'm hearing we'll have a big crowd. We are ready. So let's party and make sure the fireworks are extra Cheesey!

We are also having our annual Independence Day sale all week here at Second String Music. We have 15% off all in-stock items (NOT including the few consignments items remaining). We are celebrating three years in our Fifth and Maine location. The sale is now now through July 4 at 4 pm. We are closing at 4 that day to celebrate some of our own Independence!
