like just the other day she was nothing but a fragile bundle in my
arms. Now she is telling *me* what to do and doing a very good job
of playing puppet master. The bad thing is that I'm the puppet and
she knows exactly what strings to manipulate to get what she wants.

no doubt. my hannie, 17, plays me like a dulcimer. all you need is
the
box and a quill.

....and those nasty little wooden hammers? tap....ouch! tap, tap.....ouch!
ouch! :(

elder abuse......that's what we call it up here, anyway. :)

that would be a hammered dulcimer. i believe our uncle wayno is referring
to the mountain dulcimer- an instrument that i am fortunate to possess, and
imho is much more suited to a mellow listening experience- and a hell of a
lot more portable.

Hm.....well, if you say so. But I'm pretty certain I've seen Wayno
hammered more often than plucked......and it has more to do with
potability than portability. :)

You must be talking about one of those little
thingies you stick across your mouth and pluck.
I didn't know they called it a "mountain dulcimer"
down your way.

Trying to remember the night owen ratseller almost swallowed his, Indian
Joe says--think you are referring to a jews harp--not to be confused with a
mouth organ- which owen also manipulated.

Some people are picky though, who needs a hammer?

That´s a jews harp, and if you use a hammer to play it, you will be needing
new teeth before very long.
