There are various Hammered Dulcimer postings from YouTube of different tunes, and NO I'm not playing any of them.

The Hammered Dulcimer

The hammered dulcimer is an ancient trapezoidal musical instrument played by striking the strings with wooden hammers. Originating in the Middle East about 2000 years ago, English soldiers brought the instrument back to England after their failed attempt to conquer Persia during the Crusades about 1000 years ago. Dulcimers have many names in many lands: santur in the Middle East, yang q'in in China, hackbrett in Austria, zither in Germany, and cymbalom in Hungary. The name "dulcimer" is derived from Latin, meaning "sweet sound". Hammered dulcimers were popular in England during the reign of James I, when the Bible was translated into English as the King James Bible. The dulcimer was mentioned in the Book of Daniel 3:5 among other instruments "..the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, dulcimer, and all kinds of music..." The dulcimer was later mechanized to become what we now know as the harpsichord which later evolved in the piano.

Big time rant.

I'm just gonna have to stop watching the news programs, whether be the local news or the network news shows. While watching the news today it was revealed that some of the bailed our business concealed some of their investments and after the bail out was announced these so called "Broke" companies threw lavish parties to celebrate ripping off the American people and the head honchos taking lavish vacations. I hope that they ALL ROT IN HELL.

the second thing I want to rant about came from the news as well. some rich duel income house wife who works full time and her husband works full time and live in a well furnished house in one of our suburbs was crying how they gotta use coupons to survive and they show a house stock piled of junk food. Boy the that frosts me to no end! my wife and have to survive on less than 30,000 a year she cannot work and we still have to pay our mortgage,health care and co pays,food and groceries,car insurance try to keep a 7 year old car running. You cry babies aught try to live like we do. bare bones no luxuries. I have family members that fit this last category as well. One had the audacity to say we give a lot of money away to help the poor people in the world.They are so blessed.
I should add that I am greatful for what I do have that there are those worse off than my wife and I.
If I upset some of my readers with this rant well so be it.
