November Jam and upcoming Dec Seasonal Gathering
It was a nice morning to spend playing music with our mountain dulcimer group along with other stringed instruments; auto harps, fiddles and banjo. At times are minds were challenged to play in different keys and listening to variations on old tunes. Thanks to Barbara, Leslie and Pat we had a nice break over coffee and fresh apple pie, sweet bread and cream. We also were given a mountain dulcimer for the club to use by Judith (not me)and her husband. Thanks to all who got themselves out in the rain and looking forward to a fun December event so keep December 10 open for music and a seasonal fare.
