I've altered the arrangement from the album version to highlight the exciting, new possibilities on my "DulciForte" hammered dulcimer. I'm in love with this instrument! It is the best sounding instrument I've ever played. Please comment and let me know what you think.

This music touches me other soul.

Thank you! :)

people of this region of the online space. Know that there is a God, and know that this God has been with your father, and his father and the father before him. All generations of humanity and all peoples shall proclaim him YHWH. God of Jacob, Esau, Solomon, Moses and the glorious ethiopian kings at gondar. Return to his kingdom, you lost children

Besides you being a great artist, many of your songs cause me to want to forgive my enemies and the wrongs they've done to me. Thank you.

[@JoshuaMessick]

Wow, this is heartwarming to hear TLC. Music is a way that I heal and forgive too. It is wonderful to learn it helped you too.

[@tlc6756]

@@JoshuaMessick it's something about your playing too. One song from your latest CD helped me in particular. Funny, but even spiritual songs that have inspired my faith didn't help me to forgive like your's did You have a gift beyond just music. Love the entire CD and got one for my Mom, I know she'll love it. Take care.

[@JoshuaMessick]

@@tlc6756 Thank you for sharing this with me TLC! Music is the sound of the human spirit, and for me it is prayer without words. I am so blessed my music has helped your heart find forgiveness.

[@user-tb3sb2xn9z]

Bravo! Thanks a lot for the oustanding music, Joshua. Great as always. Keep it up! What a sweet and rich timbre! The sound has beautiful natural colors. Perfect mics positions. Wow, the sticks have your name?!

[@JoshuaMessick]

Thank you so much! I appreciate your encouraging, thoughtful comment. Your observations made me wonder if you were a musician. I visited your KZbin channel, and you are a wonderful composer! Great music -- I enjoy it, very much. I am playing a DulciForte, a model of hammered dulcimer I helped design.

[@user-tb3sb2xn9z]

@@JoshuaMessick Oh, thanks a lot. You're so kind! It's just efforts to do something worthwhile :D Sometimes I try to write a good piece for hammered dulcimer. And record it for some project. When I get to manage with that (I hope so), I wish you could play the piece. It will be an honor for me, serious. But it's complicated to write such a piece that will fully reveal the soul and potential of hammered dulcimer. I mean not like a silly and meaningless "hollywood style" sound. You can make a proper music, because you feel that. This instrument is special. It has a unique soul (with master performance). I can't explain this, but I know you understand me.

[@JoshuaMessick]

@@user-tb3sb2xn9z I would love to play on your recording! It would be my honor :-) Your must is great. If you write you write the melody and chords, maybe I can arrange my part? I own a professional recoding studio. It will be very easy for me to record. When you're ready, email me from my website: JoshuaMessick.com

Hey joshua, i, after of years of admiring, finally started playing the hammered dulcimer bout 2 months ago. i have to say it is absolutely amazing. I discovered the instrument through your channel and you continue to inspire through your uploads. Your tutorials have been a blessing. The sheer amount of emotion you convey is insane, i aspire to one day play as masterfully as you do. Much love.

[@JoshuaMessick]

Wow, Jon! I'm speechless. So glad to hear you're inspired and learning the hammered dulcimer. That is the highest praise a musician can hear! Thank you for this wonderful comment. Please stay in touch, and let me know how you progress, ok? I can't wait to hear! Yours, Joshua

Joshua, great new arrangement! I've managed the "memorize" stage with your sheet music, and your new video gave me some ideas about moving closer to "mesmerize!"

[@tobiaskraft-blank2072]

I would really like to buy your music sheets but am playing on a "Salzburger Hammered Dulcimer" - with no extended Range from g - d``` - could you add some information whether or not which songs are playable without transposing ?

[@JoshuaMessick]
