Greetings from Quimper Sound & the Analog Lounge. Another interesting week
new release-wise - Neil Young & Crazy Horse: Live At The Fillmore East (CD
and DVD) is available for the first time and the hit (at least in PT) music
bio-pic Leonard Cohen: I'm Your Man (a great gift idea...) is also coming
out. Also, a heads-up that we'll be open at 7AM on the day after
Thanksgiving (the 24th) - come in and get some great coffee to fuel up for
the day and, you know, finish your holiday shopping in one fell swoop...
As always, feedback is much appreciated - keep it coming to:
feedback at quimpersound.com - thanks! And now, on with the show . . .
