I don't blame them. Zamfir is a polarizing figure. So what did he do besides be annoying?

My God! What is going on here? Is the Zamphir some insideous form of the "Stalin Organ" of WWII fame? What can be the implicit threat of reed pipes to Israel?

I have a friend who does an incredible impression of Louis Armstrong on the panflute.

I can't describe it. But, it is damned funny.

LOL! Oh, believe you me, somebody's going to come along on the thread really soon to declare they love Zamfir more than life itself, and that I'm wrong wrong wrong.

That's OK though. I know in my heart that Zamfir is a menace.

I have a hunch that Israeli security was on to Zamphir for something a little more nepharious than his churched up kazoo.

The ministry later noted that Zamfir was denied entrance because his music sucked.

It's a pretty sad commentary on the state of the world when an internationally renowned master of the Pan flute like Zamfir can't travel unimpeded.

Sad bump...

Yeah, dude, gimme Zamfir, John Tesh, Kenny G. (if that's his real name,) and Barry Manilow, and I'm in pop heaven!

By the way, have you read the latest Danielle Steel yet?

All of that sung to the poetry of Rod McKuen. (Or Bridges of Madison County if you prefer something more contempo!)
