My youngest granddaughter, just filled one year

The gusle (Serbian Cyrillic: гусле) is a single-stringed musical instrument (and musical style) traditionally used in the Dinarides region of Southeastern Europe.Gusles played an important role in the history of Serbian epic poetry, as guslari - folk singers, singing events from national history for centuries, until these texts are finally recorded. The instrument is always accompanied by singing; musical folklore, specifically epic poetry. The gusle player holds the instrument vertically between his knees, with the left hand fingers on the strings. The strings are never pressed to the neck, giving a harmonic and unique sound.

The Winter Song Winter, chill - so what? If it's cold, its no lion. Winter, chill - let it be, for healthy ones, there is no fright. ...................................................... And what can winter do to me? What can it do? What dares it? May my nose go all red, But that is all that it is. ........................................ author: Jovan Jovanović Zmaj
