It was the Atlantic Ocean at the Outer Banks National Seashore. If you haven't been there, you need to make a date.
The sound to the west of me, the ocean to the right, stuck in the middle with you.

Great tune! A favorite.

Memories. Love the music. This thread is great!
This is the cimbalom, or dulcimer, played by Hungarians, Romanians, Gypsies and others.
It is a delicate, interesting instrument and can convey any emotion beautifully.
Try this, as an example.

There was, until recently, a great video of two of the best cimbalom players together here. It has been deleted on YT likely by the label. I found another brief example of their duo appearances. I have seen Kalman live.

Professional dancers, with stamina and precision, performing a version of a classic Hungarian dance. Great fun.
Hungarian gypsy dance done a little differently.

Nice - free form piano like. Neat.
Could this be a classic rock and roll song?

Is your first comment re my cimbalom entry? If so, I would be interested in any further reaction.
10,000 maniacs for the brief taste I took.
Yes, it was. I've never seen such an instrument. The range of sound is unique. Where you a big fan of "Looney Tunes" as a kid? This reminds me of some of the back round music - maybe as you suggest - to convey an emotion, like "uh oh", or something ominous is about to happen.
I happen to agree with you on 10,000 maniacs. Natalie Merchant is just soooo deep and smooth.
No, it wasn't when I was a kid.
Looney Tunes is now and I am not enjoying it at all.
Merchant looks real good on that clip. Saw her on television recently. Looks different - but then who doesn't.
