Susan,

Sorry for your loss - and just before Mother's Day, too.

If you come to Cleveland, I can introduce you the wonders of the Metro Parks (& a flute & guitar player who is an avid bicyclist). There's about 90 miles of all-purpose trail in the "Emerald Necklace" of parks that circle the city at the outer edges of the suburbs, full of wondrous activities. A trail along the Canal now links Cleveland to the Cuyahoga Valley National Park & there are some nice campgrounds along Lake Erie and up on Kelly's Island. I've always wanted some musical company to go camping at Kelly's Island State park, though campsites get reserved very early there.

When yer closer to having an itinerary, I can letcha know what musical stuff is going on in this area. Then there's always front porch picking & singing on my porch. There's also a chance that I might not have the spare room rented out then, if you want a variation from tent living. I surely think it would be grand to meet you.
