gettin in the groove

Everyone's heard that saying huh?....ya know.....musicians concentrate so much on the music at hand that they "get in the groove"...Well sir....I think that saying originated with noter style dulcimer players...f'real....like....after a noter is used for a while the strings wear a "groove" .....for me anyways that string groove comes in handy b/c I like to grab ahold of a string & pull it towards me...raises the pitch a little..creates a little tension....Rained here this morning....no work today....think I'll get in the groove for a little bit... : )....
