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.

A new Rant.

I saw where some one was blaming the new clear air/water act as bad for the economy.Horseshit!!!! the remark was that jobs are gonna suffer and the gas prices will rise even more.
I went on a real diatribe in my remarks for that posting,and I'm not done venting.

Let's take a look at some of the facts.

1) rising gas prices are due to the lower production of gasoline's by the petroleum companies.(Exxon,Chevron,Shell,etc etc you get the picture)

2)the second reason gas prices go up are due to the greed of the buying and selling of oil futures that drives up the price of a barrel of oil.

3)The economy is bad enough that the new controls will destroy jobs,Horseshit.
Jobs have been leaving this country since the Early 60's.the reason the jobs are going is that the big fat cat CEO"s want more profits and cheaper labor costs so they can sell junk,charge more for it and fatten their bank accounts even more.

A personnel observation if you will.I can be dismissed as a fool as someone that does not know what he is talking about.I am fine with that.
There are a lot more out there that voice what I just said here but in more eloquent ways that may be more palatable.I do not know.I am just speaking my mind about what I feel that needs to be said.

one last thought. GOVERNMENT OF THE PEOPLE FOR THE PEOPLE AND BY THE PEOPLE NEEDS TO BE REVISITED.THROW OUT THE LOBBYISTS,STOP THE BUYING OF POLITICIANS BY THE RICH CORPORATIONS.GIVE THE UNITED STATES BACK TO THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES INSTEAD OF THE SUPER RICH.

I am now officially departing my soap box.
