I love Zamfir! I have a jukebox on my lens. It really works! I am going to run back to see if Zamfir is on there. Probably not - but maybe! Before I go though, I'm going to give you 5 stars, lensroll you and become your fan.

I was surprised to find out that Samfir is from Romania. I love his pan pipe music. Are pan pipes originally from Romania? You might enjoy the Lemmi Stick video on www.squidoo.com/Hands-onLearning
