Real Good for Free: Guilderland Public Library’s Second Sunday Concert Series

The Guilderland Public Library has been a staunch supporter of Nippertown’s local music scene for years, and the library’s 2012 Second Sunday Concert Series kicks into high gear on Sunday (February 12) with a special Presidents’ Day weekend performance of “Lincoln and Liberty: Songs from the Time of Honest Abe” by the acoustic old-timey duo of the Lost Radio Rounders.
