Shandi's Music & More

It’s funny how magical music can be when it interweaves itself into our memories. My wife and I know that sometimes when we’re looking for music it’s an experience we won’t forget and this was definitely one of those times. We took the dirt road to the farm, which seems to be a kind of animal sanctuary of some sort. Part museum, part multi-music media seller (cds,8 track, tapes, vinyl) with tons of concert dvds, Video Games galore, strings, guitars, movies (vhs,dvd,Blue ray) with toys, statues, everything, everything, everything. The owner, who was friendly, kind and funny, says that the music shop itself all proceeds goto his animals charity of choice (and assumably maintaining and supporting his animal sanctuary). Do yourself the favor and visit this musical oasis, seemingly in the middle of nowhere, standing for something even more powerful than music itself. 10/10 Recommend.

Great store. Worth the drive. Beats paying shipping online. Very knowledgeable and friendly. Outstanding used and new music selection.

Places like this don't exist anymore. It's such a gem of a place. My son and I can't wait to go back. Edit: Been back several times now, and have developed a great relationship with the owner Bob, who is a great human being. He has been great to my son and I. The used cd selection is what I can speak on most, because that's where I spend most my time. He's always getting new stuff in. He has a bit of everything. You never know what obscure gem you may find. I'm into a lot of different stuff, but underground extreme metal is my main interest, and I've found several very obscure releases. Prices were fair. He's very easy to deal with. You can spend hours digging(I did). The place is packed to the gills with all things music related. There is a video game and movie section as well. You just gotta check it out for yourself. All the profits go to taking care of his rescue animals. So you can feel good spending your hard earned money there. 10/10

It was my first visit, but it won't be my last! I needed a set of strings for my acoustic guitar, and not only did they have exactly what I wanted, the strings were priced lower than I've seen elsewhere! Friendly service, too!

Completely awesome! Cd all over + they are organized. We need more places like this in Illinois.
