Nice day today. Greg and I took a hike at the Narrows in the morning. I was surprised at the standing water on the trail in some places. The last real hard rain most of the trail was in reasonable shape. The only real soft places were where the springs leak out. But there was standing water along the section of the main trail that parallels the Cold Spring Trail. I was really surprised it had water since the was no water at all with the last rain. The other place that was a veritable river was the piece of the Big Woods Trail that runs along the river. We decided to dub it Gregory Creek.
Lowered the bridge a little on the dulcimer to get the strings close to the nickel’s thickness they are supposed to be from the frets. I have to say, it seams to play easier. Though it may all be in my mind.
Judy’s cousins Cathy and Peggy were in from Boston, so we had a little get together here. Showed Cathy the dulcimers and she noodled around on them a little. With all of her fiddle experience it wont take her long to really get the hang of it. Syd played, Bile them Cabbage Down and I played back-up for her.
