This is the official blog for the Song Path Project. A series of guided sonic tours of state and national parks starting in Minnesota at Banning and Whitewater State Parks in the Summer of 2010. The initial summer of Song Path is funded with the generous support of the McKnight Foundation and the American Composers Forum as well as assistance by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources.

Evening. More rain. Going to Quarry Days to Drink with Friends
Well,
My earlier enthusiasm about a great 4:00 hike was brought back down to earth as even though I had a very enthusiastic group of hikers willing to face the wet weather, BOOM! CRASH! FLOOD! the rains came down with a fury. We dispersed, they to St Paul (and then back to France as I understood) and I to my tent to listen to some of the recording I did earlier.
I am being joined tonight by my friends Brad and Steve whom I used to be in a band with in the Early 90's in Minneapolis. The Unfinnished. Yes, with two N's. (they are of Finnish descent). But our musical journey continues as they have agreed to help me out tomorrow with the song path in between pulling bass out of the kettle river (I hope, because I want to eat some fish! MMMMMMMMM).
But some good news came with the rains. A segment on the Song Path Aired today on MPR's All Things Considered.
You can listen to it here.

my husband heard the segment on MPR driving home from work tonight and now we're planning to come out tomorrow for the hike. i saw on the dnr website that special hikes can be arranged for families w/ small children. is that true? do we call the park tomorrow morning?
