My Hammered Dulcimer
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.

Prayers for my blog friends.

to all my blog friends,I received 2 emails and I am posting both of them.The first one come from Yertle and the second one comes from Karen Horton both these fine bloggers need our prayers.

I have another prayer request for my sister, her husband, and my niece Carly. Carly has been getting progressively worse lately, and either this week or next she will have a very long surgery (15 hours) to remove the rest of the tumor. More info is at her blog.

Thanks Mike. I really appreciate that you post prayer requests and help people in this way, especially at a time when I feel so helpless to be able to do something for them.this is from Yertle
The next comes from Karen.
.My Dear friends,
Sorry I haven't been blogging much, but hubby came home Friday afternoon and I had to take him to the sdoctor. He had hurt his back Wednesday night . they took X-rays and he just sprained it real bad. They gave him some anti-inflammatory pills, muscle relaxers, and paid meds to take for it. They told him not to lift anything heavy and just to lay around and take it easy. Today, I went to the Cardiologist and he is wanting to do a Heart Catheriazation tomorrow (25th) my Birhthday to see if there is any blockage. I am going in in the morning at 6:00a.m.CST as an outpatient and I may have to spend the night, just dependint on what the test shows tomorrow. I ask that you all please be in prayer for me as I have this procedure done. i AM very nervous a bout having it done. Just pray that the outcome is good. If not, I may have to hav stints put in he said. I would really appreciate your prayers very much. Me and hubb y won't be going to Branson, MO, now since I am h having this donebut the girls are still going with my parents and Sister. Remember them in your prayers also for safe traveling there on Thursday and on the way home sunday. I will be away from the computer for a few days and just as soon as I am able, I will let everyone know how things went. I hope everyone has a great rest of the week and may GOD Bless each and everyone of you.
Lets keep these family in our prayers as well as go to the sites and offer some morale support.Thank you one and all.Mike G.said that!
