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)

Loosing so many so close together. Very strange. He was a great news man. Always enjoyed the sound of his voice coming from another room. Very soothing to me.

coffeypot said...

His reporting of the Vietnam War use to piss me off. But he seem to report other issues fair and even. I wonder how he would handle the huge divide in today’s politics.

Mike Golch said...

Coffeepot,we will never know.

storyteller said...

Aw ... how sad. I hadn't heard. Guess that's what happens when I don't turn on the television for a few days. Thanks for sharing and for dropping by Sacred Ruminations and sending the email link. Congratulations on your 1000th post. I just reached 402 at Sacred Ruminations so I have a ways to go there. I suspect there are more at Small Reflections but I've not checked for a while. Perhaps if I add all my blogs together I might be approaching 1000 ... but maybe not.
Hugs and blessings,

Mike Golch said...

Storyteller,He was truely one of the greats.
If I was to add up all the posting aon all of my blogs I'd most likly be pushin 1,120.
