\"Conversion<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Do you have home movies on VHS that you can’t watch?\u00a0 Boxes of audio cassette tapes in your garage leftover from when you traded in your old car? LP records in your hall closet and no turntable?<\/p>\n

We have a solution for your nostalgia-sickness:\u00a0 Digitize your memorabilia and take it home on your flash drive!!<\/p>\n

Our new\u00a0Digital Conversion Station converts\u00a0Vinyl, audio cassette tapes and video cassette tapes into digital files.<\/p>\n

The conversion is done in real time, so it will take 2 hours to digitize a 2 hour movie.<\/p>\n

The station is available for\u00a0the public to\u00a0use for up to 6 hours per day. Please call ahead at (563) 326-7902 to reserve your time.<\/p>\n

There is no charge and you don’t need a library card to use it—all you need is a flash drive and time!<\/p>\n

Naturally, we wouldn’t ask you to do anything we wouldn’t, so this morning, we digitized a 7 inch vinyl single of the “Themesong” of the Quad Cities<\/em>, commissioned for the Quad-Cities USA campaign in 1980, which we blog about in a\u00a0previous blog post<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Listen to the audio file below and sing along!<\/p>\n

Lyrics:<\/strong>
\nI know a place
\nWhere there\u2019s work to be done
\nWhere there\u2019s room for me
\nand who I want to be.
\nSomewhere I can do the things
\nI\u2019m good enough to do.
\nWhere I can build my tomorrow.
\nWhere I can live with the eagles.
\nFly with the eagles and be free.
\nQuad Cities U.S.A.
\nLookin\u2019 better every day
\nQuad Cities, you\u2019re the place I want to be.
\nI want to be.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a river
\nA stream that works while it plays.
\nA road through history
\nDown to the shining sea.
\nThis mighty, rollin\u2019 river,
\ntells me that I\u2019m home
\nWhere I can build my tomorrow.
\nWhere I can live with the river
\nFlow with the river and be free.
\nQuad Cities U.S.A.
\nGrowin\u2019 stronger every day
\nQuad Cities you\u2019re the place I want to be.
\nI want to be.<\/p>\n

On this good land
\nThe seasons flavor my life.
\nAnd it\u2019s good to know
\nOf things that live and grow.
\nI can raise my family
\nWhere the good life\u2019s gonna be.
\nAnd I can build my tomorrow.
\nWhere I can live on the good land
\nGrow with the good land and be free.
\nQuad Cities U.S.A.
\nGrowing better every day
\nQuad Cities you\u2019re the place I want to be.<\/p>\n

Where I can live with the eagles,
\nFly with the eagles and be free.
\nQuad Cities U.S.A.
\nLookin\u2019 better every day
\nQuad Cities, you\u2019re the place I want to be.
\nI want to be.
\nI want to be.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
