Newsletter Vol.3 No.1 1/12/06

Greetings from Quimper Sound and Happy New Year! I'm back (barely) with a new computer and ready to "inform your socks off". 
First of all, if you haven't been in since the holidays, we've moved things around just a little bit. Not too much - 'cause we know how much it annoys you. But we had to do a little shuffling just to try and give every section its due. So try and follow along:
1) Soundtracks have moved back to being at the far right of the DVD racks.
2) Blues is where Classical used to be and Classical is now opposite the DVD racks (this happened a while ago but is still tripping people up a bit)
3) The Local Music section is now where the Holiday music had been (come in the door, head straight, take a left at the fork then turn and face to your right).
4) Country is now back next to Bluegrass - come in the door take your first right and go to the end of the aisle then face right.
5) The rack in the aisle between Jazz and Blues now contains all manner of sale items including: 
      a) Jazz and Blues Festival Overstock (all 30% off)
      b) Used DVDs (priced to move)
      c) Sale used CDs (many only $1)
      d) "Scuffers" used CDs (none more than $4):
Don't worry, most of us who work here know where everything is - so just ask if you can't find it. Still real slow where new releases are concerned - they should start picking up in February. Oh, and a big shout out to all of you who are using the Website to special order - it is much appreciated. As always, feedback is much appreciated - keep it coming to: feedback at quimpersound.com - thanks! And now, on with the show . . .
