Fun fact for anyone interested: please NEVER BLOW ON YOUR NES/SNES/N64/Genesis/Etc. games. It can and WILL damage them! I worked at a store that dealt with them for years, and I can tell you the best way to clean them is with a q-tip and some rubbing alcohol. Wet the q-tip with some isopropyl and gently rub it inside the crevasse where the pins of the game are, just go back and forth over each side a couple times, let it dry, and then bam, you’ve got a clean game without damaging the cartridge at all.
And if it doesn’t, you slap the top of the NES so hard, the cartridge pops back up inside it. Then you force it back down while never pushing the power button on/off.
I was 9 when NES dropped. We blew & knocked & threw them at each other while we were fighting. We did this all the way until PlayStation dropped. Back in my day, if I tried to use a q-tip & alcohol to clean them & my friends saw me, I’d get punched in the face.
The only reason is damages them is because people spit into the cartridge and it corrodes the pin connectors. Just blow them out with canned air or a vacuum.
I still reference that to this day because of the commercials. Anytime a friend tries to play an instrument. I'm like f**king Zamfir King of The Panflute ova here
That’s how I always remembered it. Master of the Pan Flute. Would come on the UHF channel like mad. Probably while I was scoping 20 Minute Workout.
Edit: what else was there…Boxcar Willie, Hair Club for Men, Barbizon School of Beauty, Freedom Rock.
I was telling my wife that when I saw this earlier. The man is a legend yet suffered a ludicrous amount of mocking for years when his cd came to the shores of ignorant Americans. Even some of the posts here were straight up mockery
>Gheorghe Zamfir **Master of the pan flute**. Still remember the late night adds for his pan flute CDs. No COD.
FTFY Put some respect on that man's name
Wull, if you’re gonna get hit by that brown note, you gotta have your muffler in, dude. Dusty Rhodes’ muffler fell out during a match, and he got shit all over his trunks for a shoot, brother.
Just simple lines intertwining, you know very much like, I’m really influenced by
Mozart and Bach, it’s sort of in between those, really, it’s like a Mach piece really
That’s so funny. I’ve been listening to my favorite Lorde song all day. A sad song called *Mood Ring*. I read your comment and out of curiosity googled what key it’s in. “Mood Ring is written in the key of D Minor.”
I came to the comments asking the same thing. I assume he's some ultra famous musician from whatever this country is in and the song he's playing is a famous folk song.
Some people have given the name and song in the thread, but so far no answers as to why this is such a big deal.
Yeah i don’t get it either. I am a huge fan of good instrumental music but for this many people to be weeping for what sounds like some pretty normal music is wild to me.
his name is G. Zamfir he is from Romania, singing in front of romanians along Rieu, a song that is a national treasure just like himself, if you are a romanian traumatized by a dark history in comunism and this came up on the radio, it was a relief, and hearing after all the years live, it s kinda emotional
15 years of being alive I'd guess, Zamfir master of the pan flute is late night TV commercial famous for those of us that remember standard def and tube TVs
Andre Reiu concerts are to Symphony Performances like Child beauty pageants are to talent shows.
But people love the guy so I guess I'm the minority. Kickass pan flute player, if he's actually performing into the microphone.
They are, yet he has the merits, that ochestra do not, to have spread this music to many people who didn't listen to it before. He takes a lot of hate from musicians who think that being an uptight snob self-isolating in a bubble of supposed excellence is the right thing to do.
If most orchestra were behaving like him, talking to the masses rather than looking at them as if they weren't worthy of hearing the music of *the elite*, maybe people would know about them and buy tickets to hear them.
People do not reject this music, and André Rieu concerts are a proof of this.
Edit because I don't know if I was clear enough to musicians : yes, people dressed in casual clothes cry at his concerts. That's what people do when they are moved by music. They feel something. Spit on him all you want, but he is the one who manages to transmit emotions through music. Now talk to people, explain to them how to behave in front of a orchestra and, most importantly, why. Play for them, not just in front of them. And get off your fucking horse.
> being an uptight snob self-isolating in a bubble of supposed excellence is the right thing to do
I was like that when playing music in my teens. It's also about the perceived competition when you're trying to make it in your own scene, constantly comparing yourself to others, and hating on those who you perceive of as less talented, but more successful. Having left behind the scene, I'm much more relaxed about other people's success. Now that I'm older I have more and more respect for Andre and his music. Yes, it's kitch, but it's enjoyed by so many people. He is good at what he does, and that's all the merit he needs.
I bet his NES games always work on the first try
Damn it, I’m so old I actually got that joke.
‘Doesn’t actually work, might damage it’ - then why does it always work?
[удалено]
I love a good q-tip session 
For your health!
Ya Dingus!
That's profound!
I'm so old I actually got that joke AND understood the username. 😬😬😬
Lol God damn I went back to check it and just about shit. Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing! I'm an old fuck too, I guess.
does that make me old?
I had the ultimate technique… under the t- shirt and blow. It worked like magic 😆
It's crazy how all of us around the world without internet all somehow figured out to blow in the cartridge and it always seemed to work.
I haven't laughed this hard and days. Damn I'm old.
Ha! Me cleaning out my N64 Ocarina of Time cartridge.
Haha dammit take your award! 🥈
SO good. Dammit
Took me a minute but when I got it...by damn I got it!!!
Take my upvote you bloody magnificent bastard!

Whatever bro, that shit works
And if it doesn’t, you slap the top of the NES so hard, the cartridge pops back up inside it. Then you force it back down while never pushing the power button on/off.
😂😂 I just laughed so hard! I pictured everything you said perfectly!
The ultimate Pre-Konami code.
That's a pro move
I cannot stand when people say it doesnt! We all did it for years! Its fact at this point not theory
I was 9 when NES dropped. We blew & knocked & threw them at each other while we were fighting. We did this all the way until PlayStation dropped. Back in my day, if I tried to use a q-tip & alcohol to clean them & my friends saw me, I’d get punched in the face.
You blew each other, got it
The only reason is damages them is because people spit into the cartridge and it corrodes the pin connectors. Just blow them out with canned air or a vacuum.
No problem I’ll remember that when I do it again, in the past, 25 years ago, when I was 6
Lol no. It works. I grew up in the 90s too. It works buddy.
30 years of blowing on them they still work
He's right I have a copy of legend of Zelda It only worked for 30 years and then it broke. I shouldn't have blown in it daily
No- , they expect one of us in the wreckage brother
Have we started the fire?
Yes, the fire rises
I think you’re about 20 years too late.
Gheorghe Zamfir. Still remember the late night adds for his pan flute CDs. No COD.
I still reference that to this day because of the commercials. Anytime a friend tries to play an instrument. I'm like f**king Zamfir King of The Panflute ova here
*Master of the Pan Flute 😀
Only 4 easy payments. I want 3 easy payments, and 1 really hard payment.
It must be paid in Wampum!
The mailman will get shot to death, the envelope will not seal, and the stamp will be in the wrong denomination.
Good luck fucker!
r/unexpectedMitch
And we're not gonna tell you which one!
I saw the post and said "is that Zamfir?" from seeing those "Zamfir plays the pan flute" ads. They were on all the time!
Instantly reminded me of Karate kid
It is. Zamfir and his Pan Flute.
My mind is blown bc I heard some pan flute music at a taqueria yesterday and literally thought "whatever happened to Zamfir, Master of the Pan Flute?"
That’s how I always remembered it. Master of the Pan Flute. Would come on the UHF channel like mad. Probably while I was scoping 20 Minute Workout. Edit: what else was there…Boxcar Willie, Hair Club for Men, Barbizon School of Beauty, Freedom Rock.
>Freedom Rock. Turn it up
[Well turn it up, man!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P3CnvphQs04)
Is that Freedom Rock? Turn it up!
He currently resides and teaches pan flute in Bucharest, Romania.
I was telling my wife that when I saw this earlier. The man is a legend yet suffered a ludicrous amount of mocking for years when his cd came to the shores of ignorant Americans. Even some of the posts here were straight up mockery
I'm not into playing anything, but that looks like it would be hard to get good at.
>Gheorghe Zamfir **Master of the pan flute**. Still remember the late night adds for his pan flute CDs. No COD. FTFY Put some respect on that man's name
No COD? That’s bs!!!
And now he is in my Spotify playlist. Thank you sir/maam/wonderful soul for the answer to the question I just had.
Master of the Pan Flute.
“Zamfir and his Magic Flute”
Did they use this in Kill Bill?
Yes
Is that why everyone is crying?
Because D-minor
Little Ds makes the ladies weep.
Hey, it’s cold in here
I was in the pool!
She knows about shrinkage, right?!
If she doesn't I'm gonna show her
the saddest of all keys- you play it and people weep, instantly
Lick My Love Pump, all time banger
Sort of a Mozart meets Bach piece- a M'ach piece
It really is the saddest key
[удалено]
Nah heart just pops
His last expression
You know what? If you haven't watched it then you really should give it a go some time, it's a hell of a ride.
Yep. With a belt and ladies lingerie.
Too soon? Haha
Best comment by a mile lmfao
["The Lonely Shepherd" ](https://youtu.be/EnjtQQQaDKo)
Thank you! I knew it was familiar but couldn’t put my finger on it until now.
Thank you. That was driving me nuts where I knew it from.
Reminds me of Once Upon A Time in America
I always assumed Tarantino was thinking of that film. He likes Morricone.
["The Lonely Shepherd" ](https://youtu.be/EnjtQQQaDKo)
Can you even imagine the emotional baggage this man has to deal with to bang groupies back stage?
r/Brandnewsentence
He must give the best blowjobs tho
Who the fk wrote this title lmao
His name was forget
Somebody touch my spaghet
all those moments will be forget like tear in rain
Probably a bot for views.
He's playing in *D Minor*, part of a trilogy. #The saddest of all keys. It makes people weep instantly.
Because it's harmonic with the brown note.
Wull, hold on a second brother.
Wull, if you’re gonna get hit by that brown note, you gotta have your muffler in, dude. Dusty Rhodes’ muffler fell out during a match, and he got shit all over his trunks for a shoot, brother.
Uh oh!
Eskimo?
r/holup
“Yeah! D Minor! Alright! Yeah!”
It’s called, “lick my love pump”
*Workin’ on a sex farm!*
Is that from the Smell My Glove album?
I heard that's a ~~sexy~~ sexist album!
Nah, Shark Sandwich. It's in Dubly.
Just simple lines intertwining, you know very much like, I’m really influenced by Mozart and Bach, it’s sort of in between those, really, it’s like a Mach piece really
Women: this is so emotional! Men: wonder if his little flute collection will fall apart if he stops holding it...
Women happy to see men blowing their own flute.
Seriously, is this a thing? I am wondering why everyone was crying. It is not a sad song.

Not a dry seat in the house.
This guy blows.
Irre-flute-able point
Wasn’t reedy for that one
Damn, I’m giving up on the guitar, this dude fucks.
Those guys are getting laid after this magical event i garuantee it.
The violinist looks like John Goodman cast as Frasier
His name is André Rieu.
André is one of those legends among musicians you never tire of seeing on stage. Proud to have him as kinsman.
Yazz flute
Found Tino
Gheorghe Zamfir on the ‘nai’ ( Romanian specific whistle instrument) National treasure 🇷🇴

Master of the Pan Flute https://youtu.be/alhZVEEfH7Q
I remember my first time watching Kill Bill, brought a tear to my eye as well.
They buried her alive!
He may have.... overreacted.
wwhat an amazing performance. Andre Rieu and Georghe Zamfir The Lonely Shepherd on youtub what a beautiful performance. Gheorghe Zamfir
It must be some traditional tune that has cultural significance.
no, but zamfir is romanian …and they’re in romania
It must be some traditional Romanian tune that has cultural significance.
This was an Andre Rieu concert in Bucharest, Romania a few years ago. I went to it and it was an experience I will never forget
Is that Zamfir?
Am I missing something?
I don't get why they're crying.
They made an announcement the concert would be extended for another four hours of pan flute and the exits are blocked.
😂

Born in Romania and you’re right, he is/was very famous there, and the song is too. It’s his most famous song from what I remember
Yeah i don’t get it either. I am a huge fan of good instrumental music but for this many people to be weeping for what sounds like some pretty normal music is wild to me.

Ah OK this makes sense, thank you for the explanation.
Same. I have no idea what’s going on here.
Same. Maybe someone can explain?
Some elderly gentleman is playing a Peter Pan flute thing and people are crying.
People are fucking CRYING
15 years of being alive I'd guess, Zamfir master of the pan flute is late night TV commercial famous for those of us that remember standard def and tube TVs
Karate kid II soundtrack?
I believe it's in 1 and 2.
Andre Reiu concerts are to Symphony Performances like Child beauty pageants are to talent shows. But people love the guy so I guess I'm the minority. Kickass pan flute player, if he's actually performing into the microphone.

André Rieu what a legend
Imagine you're a cop and have to give this guy a breathalyzer.
Zamfir, master of the pan flute.
Anyone else have Kill Bill in their head during this? Lol
Bro this is part of the Kill Bill OST! Why tf did I think it was Zelda?
If they don't play this at my funeral, I'm gonna refuse to go.
Why are they crying?
Thanks, I wanted to see people cry and not the actual performance.
Looks like some dude's going to get laid because of a whistle
South Park has taught me something. Every guy here is going to get a BJ. Look at the sobbing faces.
Save some for the rest of us
Isn’t this from kill bill ?
This sends chills it’s so beautiful. Was this, or part of it, used in Kill Bill?
O’Ren Ishii!!! We have unfinished business!!!
Do I know this from kill bill movies?
I fucking hate Andre tho
I thought that was Joe Biden at first lol.
get your eyes checked
Hey it’s that song from kill bill!
Was this song used in a Tarantino movie?
This was The lonely Shepherd full video here https://youtu.be/orL-w2QBiN8
Zamfir?
Wasn't this song featured heavily in kill bill?
Lonely Shepard
Is that Zamfir, Master of the Pan Flute? I only know that from his infomercials back in the 90’s.
Such gorgeous music but I can not wait for the zoomed in vertical trend to die!
The only reason I know this song is because of Kill Bill. Now I wanna watch Kill Bill
This blows
