My Hammered Dulcimer

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.

Amen to this! I cannot stand people especially talking on their cell phones while driving. They ARE NOT paying attention and will still at green lights not knowing that it changed from red to green and I am behind them going balastic!!!

This is my post to DON:

I personally am sick and tired of having to alter MY life because other people don't want to police their OWN actions. When i'm in a public area and someone's phone goes off, i'll be honest, I say something and don't much care what anyone thinks. It's common courtesy to put your mind, eyes and ears on matters at hand, not matters that interupt.

Technology is wonderful but i'm feeling like human nature is slipping away from all of us. We are all paying th price for this and it's only getting worse. Good for you!!!

Just Be real,something that gets my goat ti the asshats that talk on their cell phones in hospitals especially right under the sign that says TURN YOU CELL PHONE OFF!!!!!

A Stich In Thyme,this all boils down to one thing,no common sence!

Mike Golch said...

Akelamalu,the phone is a covience,not a neccessary! No I did not spell it wrong I meant it!

Wanda's Wings said...

Yes cell phones can be a real problem. Driving with them is the scary part.

Don is one of my regular reads. He's a hoot isn't he. This post is just his approach to irritating things.

Have a terrific day pal. Big hug. :)
