Greetings from Quimper Sound! It looks like Mother Nature is trying to make amends for our crummy winter - well, except for the wind that is. Anyway, this beautiful weekend should be a good time to come and reclaim downtown as your own, the tourists will be back before you know it. Currently we have the new Donald Fagen 'Morph The Cat' and the new Ben Harper 'Both Sides Of The Gun' on sale. Next week it'll be Ben Harper and the new Yeah Yeah Yeahs 'Show Your Bones' on sale. As always, feedback is much appreciated - keep it coming to: feedback at quimpersound.com - thanks! And now, on with the show . . .
