So many gift options will be available —figurines, cards, buttons, posters, magazines, books, CDs, DVDs, T-shirts, vinyl, and so much more! Mark you calendars for our first show of the new year on January 18, 2026!

We couldn’t resist a picture of Janet and Frank at last month’s show and that great T-shirt Janet is wearing! Fall is almost, sort of, here, though it doesn’t quite feel like with this Indian summer. But we are back on Sunday, SEPTEMBER 21! So come to the Arbutus Volunteer Fire Department Hall from 9 am – 3 pm. NO admission fee! FREE parking! Celebrate the beginning of fall and football with us with some great music finds. It’s never, never to early to start shopping for the holidays! It was a great crowd at the August show and there were some great finds of all kinds—a vintage radio, vintage record players, T-shirts, figurines, books, and much more!

Summer’s not over yet! Join us Sunday, August 17 for our next “hot” show!

Summer is not over yet even though school is just around the corner! Join us for our last, “hot” summer show of 2025 on Sunday, August 17. We look forward to seeing  you at the Arbutus Volunteer Fire Department Hall from 9 am -3 pm! No admission and tons of free parking. Come and check out al the great music items from our wonderful vendors.

Sadly, we lost some greats in July from all across the music spectrum—but their music will always live on: the beloved pop singer and movie star, Connie Francis, metal rock god (and reality show star) Ozzy Osbourne (first as lead singer of Black Sabbath before he went solo), jazz greats, trumpeter Chuck Mangione and jazz singer Dame Cleo Laine.

and remember, we’ll also SEE YOU IN SEPTEMBER (21st)!

It’s that time again! Spend some of your Father’s Day with us, Sunday, June 15!

Join us for what has become a Father’s Day tradition on SUNDAY, June 15 and celebrate all dads at our show at Arbutus Volunteer Fire Department Hall! The hours are 9 am – 3 pm with tons of FREE parking and FREE admission.

We lost two giants in the music world recently, both 82 years old. Sly Stone of Sly and the Family Stone, and Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys were pioneers in their own way. Sly and the Family Stone was a mixed-race, mixed-gender band, revolutionary at the time and their music was fun and funky, with a message of acceptance for all people. Brian Wilson was pure genius, creating the California surf sound. His music even influenced The Beatles. Both gave us some of the most memorable music and especially those great summer sounds!

See below for the amazing variety of great music items you can find at the show!

It’s a another, special 4th Sunday! Join us for our pre-Memorial Day show on May 25!

Here is a cool jazz cover borrowing art from the great Art Nouveau artist, Alphonse Mucha. That movement influence lots of art in the 70s from jazz covers to film titles. Just check out the opening credits for the film “Duel at Diablo” that also has a great Neal Hefti score.
