MY HAMMERED DULCIMER

MY HAMMERED DULCIMER
There are various Hammered Dulcimer postings from YouTube of different tunes, and NO I AM NOT PLAYING ANY OF THESE TUNES.Maybe some day when I have the equipment to do so.I have included a link to my You Tube Channel.I invite you to go and watch any of my videos on the site also check out some of the different channels I subscribe to.

ABOUT 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.

THE SERENITY PRAYER

THE SERENITY PRAYER
God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference. Living one day at a time; enjoying one moment at a time; accepting hardships as the pathway to peace; taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it; trusting that He will make all things right if I surrender to His Will; that I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with Him forever in the next. Amen. - Reinhold Niebuhr (1892-1971)

What the heck I might as dig me a big hole and jump in it,Or I'm gonna stick my foot in my mouth.Your choice.
Here goes,this election will be interesting. on the Democratic side we have a black guy with an old Guy for his VP. on the republican side we have an old guy with a woman for his VP. this being said no matter who get elected there will be a first for our country. A Black President or A female Vice president. either way we will have a first for our country! It is your choice America! God Bless theUSA!

Yep, either way this will be history making!

Now the question remains... do we buy tickets to leave the country or not? ;) Just kidding. It will be monumental to say the very least.

Part of me is exicted to see how this turns out. And then another part of me has apprehensions to how society itself will react.

The most interesting part... other countries are watching us quite closely to see what happens.

I pray we all remember to vote based on agendas, plans, and who will best run our government- and not based on race or gender.

Mike Golch said...

I.C. I agree with you 100% especially the last part.

The Natural State Hawg said...

irish coffeehouse said it before I could -- hopefully, we'll base our votes on agendas rather than race and gender.

We're already hearing static about how the nation could redeem itself by putting a black guy in office. What a bunch of nonsense.

Race and gender ought not figure in when it comes to deciding who will be a good public servant.

Visit The Natural State Hawg!

Mike Golch said...

state Hawg. I agree.

It's All Good! said...

Funny Mike! That's true, either way it'll be a first.
God bless,
Brenda :)

Mike Golch said...

Brenda, it will be interesting.

Hot Rocks said...

I LOVE your playlist gadget!I just may have to get myself one of those.

Mike Golch said...

Hot rocks it not that hard to do.

Liza said...

i just hope that america decides well, i hope the color won't really matter. good luck

Mike Golch said...

Liza, I hope so also. I'm tied of the negitive ads being run.

Mimi said...

this is indeed going to be a very interesting year...

we just have to remember that whichever set that God wants to win will win...

However, remember sometimes He put evil kings in place in order to accomplish something that He knew the world needed...
Pray before you vote!!!

Kimmie said...

IC said it perfectly! I think American's are very tuned in for this election, for a change. Its about time an election had this much interest in it. It really does matter!!! Our country is depending on who ever wins this election. Thats BIG!

Hugs and Prayers To You Mike!
Love,
Kimmie
xo

Mike Golch said...

Mimi, and Kimmie, I just hope that the negitive tactics do not sway the votes,but than again the candidates will say any thing to get elected. That tactic has been around so long that it stinks.

Lee said...

A person of character willing to vote for what they think is right, instead of what will get them re-elected would win my undying respect...even if I disagreed with them.

Sandee (Comedy +) said...

You didn't make a fool out of yourself. You are absolutely right. It will be a first no matter who is elected. Have a great day sweetie. Hope you and yours had a great holiday weekend. Big hug. :)

Mike Golch said...

Lee, I would like to sse a chang in direstion of this country. I'm tired of all the red ink that has flowed out of Washington D.C.over the past 8 years. It is time for new blood.

Sandee, we are doing OK. My other computer has rtaken a powder and so My cousin is trying to revive it for the second time.I'm afraid the maybe this time the hard drive bit the dust.

Self Defense Rob said...

I just hope people pay attention to the actual issues and candidate's stances.

If you don't like Bush, that doesn't mean don't vote for McCain. If you are black, that doesn't mean vote for Obama. If you are a woman, that doesn't mean vote for Palin as VP.

People need to vote with their head, not heart.

Mike Golch said...

Rob, I agree.

The Blogger's Prayer

Lord help me to learn to spell without spellcheck, manage to visit all that visit me, and post regularly - all in 5 minutes a day, so that I can clean house and take care of my family. Help me to not look at every occurrence in my life as a blog post, and to quit taking pictures of weird things to share as well. Please Lord, help me to stop talking about my blog friends as though they are next door neighbors or someone I have known all of my life. And help me dear Lord, to think of something witty and wise to post tomorrow.
