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.

Say a prayer for Haiti

The 7.0 earthquake has caused such devastation to Haiti. Being in South Florida, we have a large Haitian population, there are many whom Im sure are touched personally by this. My parents visited twice and loved it, had such compassion for the impoverished citizens.

When you go to sleep tonight, ask God to provide for them.

I want to thank Hap Joy Free for this posting

Just Be Real said...

Most definitely! My company works directly with Haiti. We help provide food, shelter to third world countries. We have missionaries (which I know some personally) who go over to Haiti and some stationary there now. We have not heard from them as of yet. Hopefully, will know more today! Prayers are much needed!!!

Thank you Mike for sharing!!

A dear blogging friend of mine for almost 3 years ask me to pray for her son and new wife they are there on their honeymoon. They were unable to get in touch, I just heard last night that they were okay. I will continue to pray for all of these people.
