Newsletter Vol.3 No.20 5/30/06

Greetings from Quimper Sound! It's a slow New Release week, but there has been plenty of great new stuff out lately (Springsteen, Gotan Project, Dixie Chicks, Pearl Jam, Mark Knopfler/Emmylou Harris, Tool, Gnarls Barkley, Neil Young, John Zorn, etc., etc.) - come check it out. I want to stress again that Quimper Sound is once again giving scholarships to local youth for the Centrum Workshops this summer. We're offering one scholarship each to Centrum's Slide and Steel, Jazz, and Country Blues workshops and four scholarships to the School Of Rock. This is a great opportunity for kids to get world class instruction. If you know a local youth (up to age 18) who you think would blossom with the right encouragement - or a budding young star who "want's to take it to the next level" Send them down to the store for applications and more information - the application deadline is June 1st! As always, feedback is much appreciated - keep it coming to: feedback at quimpersound.com - thanks! And now, on with the show . . .
