7. Many years ago I saw the Gheorghe Zamfir Ensemble perform live

Even though Zamfir was supposed to be the star, the guy everyone in the audience LOVED was the cimbalom player.

Kind of like a hammered dulcimer on steroids.


I couldn't find a video of Zamfir's cimbalom player, but he was a big teddy bear of a man who obviously loved performing.
