I walked our dog each day and had to sit down while he was in the dog walking area, but then I heard her playing the dulcimer; her playing gave me hope I'd get better - which thankfully I did, I still remember those days clearly. Somehow I think these musical instruments have magical powers we may be unaware of, they reach into our innner souls and bring out what needs to be brought forth.Linda Starrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04364078667554676592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-53990405321005435632011-06-22T17:57:48.380-04:002011-06-22T17:57:48.380-04:00Hi Joan, thank, I will do a search for the video, ...Hi Joan, thank, I will do a search for the video, the modern age is great.<br /><br />Hi Lori, thanks, yes this particular instrument is so soothing, it reminds me of ancient African rhythms.<br /><br />Hi Michele, thanks, once again, I may be thinking way ahead of my skill level judging from what I have been researching, but it is fun to dream and think about what might or could be in the future.<br /><br />Hi Teresa, thanks, you know when Gary and I moved from Arkansas to California, we stayed at an RV park while he was working. A woman was playing an instrument which was probably a dulcimer every day in the parking lot, I was drawn to it, but at the time I was so weak from a low thyroid I could barely walk but I still think about that instrument. I really think you should pursue what your dreams are because you never know when you may not be able to pursue them any longer. I hope you find your dulcimer real soon. thanks again.Linda Starrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04364078667554676592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-45700397917727159962011-06-22T15:07:20.182-04:002011-06-22T15:07:20.182-04:00What an interesting time that must have been.

The regular lap dulcimer is great, too, but that hammer spoke to me. I can so relate to this post. Thanks for sharing that part of you. Nice. I look forward to hearing of your tongue drum in the Near future. Thanks for introducing it. I was not familiar with it.Teresa Evangelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05495114564099989481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-40362533544771580562011-06-22T10:45:06.696-04:002011-06-22T10:45:06.696-04:00oh that would be so much fun to have! and beautifu...oh that would be so much fun to have! and beautiful to look at too.Michèle Hastingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11346907762804197879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-51321894021220433832011-06-22T09:14:23.835-04:002011-06-22T09:14:23.835-04:00It looks as beautiful as it sounds, now wonder you...It looks as beautiful as it sounds, now wonder you're attracted. <br />Something about drumming is soul soothing, it would make sense that a potter would also want to be a drummer.Lori Buffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00233955188892423314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-88354227821705248702011-06-22T08:57:15.331-04:002011-06-22T08:57:15.331-04:00I saw a tutorial on ceramic drum making on u tube....I saw a tutorial on ceramic drum making on u tube..go there and search for ceramic drum.
