  _____  

Greetings from Quimper Sound & the Analog Lounge.

Welcome to Spring (in all its gloriously quirky weather). The big news this
week is that we're having this year's first major 'in-store' appearance.
Nationally renowned country blues performer (and Centrum Blues Festival
regular) Steve Cheseborough will grace our stage at 5pm on Friday April
13th. He'll be selling his CDs and his highly acclaimed book Blues
Traveling: the Holy Sites of Delta Blues and of course, giving us a taste of
his masterful country blues playing. Oh, and he'll probably sign an
autograph or two as well. Stop by and check him out and get the taste for
free. If you like what you hear go for the full meal at the Upstage later
that night!

If you have any suggestions (or complaints/compliments) feedback is much
appreciated - keep it coming to: feedback at quimpersound.com - thanks! And
now, on with the show . . .
