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.

More on the Hammered Dulicmer

Today I'm going to sing the praises of three people that played a part of my learning the Hammered Dulicmer. The first two People had made video tapes that helped me.Mr.Dennis Lee of Texas Music and Videos who made learn the Hammered Dulicmer,who by the way has more and different Videos. Mr John McCutcheon who's video is titled Hammered dulicmer taught by him. And thirdly I would like to Mention Ms Tina Bergmann who had given me a total of 22 lessions.That were taped as the lession was being given so that I could practise what i learned,unfortunaly the tapes were distroyed by accident.I had recorded over the lessions making some other tapes,Dumb me.
If there any mispelled words blame the spell check for it does not want to check my spelling for some strange reason.

  1. Mike,

    It's great that you paid tribute to the three people who helped you learn to play the dulcimer. It's always nice to recognize those who help us in some way.

    Thanks for your prayers for Michelle. She is home and resting with the company of her family. I do appreciate your prayers.

    I pray for you that your health will improve.

    Blessings,
    Mary

  3. Hi Mike,
    I hope your day has been a good one. I've been a little under the weather the past few days and I'm trying to catch up tonight on my visiting.

    I am familar with John McCutcheon. I've never heard him in person but he's in our area a lot. As a matter of fact, he liked our little county and bought an old house here. You can see it here:

    I always wanted a dulcimer..the mountain kind played with a quill but I never got one. I just figured it would go in the closet with the guitar and autoharp!! LOL

    Take care,
    Hope

  4. yep the moutain dulicmer is closely related to the guitar.I think that maybe the moutain dulicmer was created to be more portable than a guitar would be.
    I could be wrong,I've been known to be before.Blessings,Mike

  6. Mike- I didn't know you played the hammered dulcimer! That is pretty much my favorite instrument. (Though I play at playing guitar). Forgive me, this is my first visit to your page. But I am so glad I finally got here. Thanks for all your support!

  9. Mike,

    It's wonderful that you wrote this tribute to the people who helped you learn to play the dulcimer. You are very thoughtful. The world would be a better place if more of us would pause to say "Thank you."

    Thank you, for this wonderful post!
