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.

Mary Travers (1936-2009) RIP

Mary Travers of the 1960s folk trio Peter, Paul and Mary died Wednesday after a long battle with leukemia. She was 72.

Bandmate Peter Yarrow said Travers handled her disease with "great dignity."

"It was, as Mary always was, honest and completely authentic," he said. "That's the way she sang, too, honestly and with complete authenticity," Yarrow told The Associated Press.

Travers underwent a successful bone marrow transplant to treat her leukemia and while she could perform after that, she told WTOP radio in Washington that her condition had worsened earlier this year.

Noel "Paul" Stookey praised Travers for her inspiring activism, "especially in her defense of the defenseless."

"I am deadened and heartsick beyond words to consider a life without Mary Travers," he told The Associated Press.


Mary Allin Travers was born Nov. 9, 1936, in Louisville, Ky., to two journalists who moved the family to New York's Greenwich Village. She attended school through the 11th grade before pursuing a singing career.
Pete Seeger, a founding member of the folk group the Weavers, lived in the same building as the Travers family and Travers performed with him.
Travers backed Seeger on one album and for two shows at Carnegie Hall, but it wasn't until she connected with Yarrow and Stookey that she found worldwide success. Yarrow was managed by Albert Grossman, who later worked with Bob Dylan.
The trio rehearsed in Travers' apartment for several months before its 1961 debut at the Bitter End in New York City.
The group won five Grammy Awards for its three-part harmony for "Leaving on a Jet Plane," "Puff the Magic Dragon" and Bob Dylan's "Blowin' in the Wind."
Travers is survived by her fourth husband, Ethan Robbins, and daughters Alicia and Erika.
