I wish I would have been there to grab a free Kazoo or two!? I'm serious!?

I have to have a few kazoos.? I don't know how to play one and I didn't even know there was such a thing as a bass kazoo!
Man, life is passing me by!

Where do you get them and more importantly, how do you learn to play them well?

I am ALWAYS looking for noisemakers of any kind because anything that can make a sound can make music!? ?I have found some pretty neat stuff in thrift stores (second hand charity stores) and wherever.

I have alot of plans for recording, sometimes using unconventional things that make noise but also make music.? Percussion for example is wide open for just about anything.

I REALLY need something to make that wind up dog tail ratcheting noise like in the Old cartoons.? I forget what the wooden percussion instrument is called, but I NEED one of those and I was planning to get one of those party noisemakers that spin around to make that ratcheting sound- use that, but even better, take it apart and meke one out of WOOD.

Yeah!

I just want to make music.

On the other hand I hope to create and record some bad bad blues!? I am into about everything, my formative influences were mid to late 60's.
I even wrote a rap song once.

Anyhow, I hope to have some music up on the web by this coming summer.? Between now and then I will be working on my playing skills.

I'll be GLAD when I get some recording equipment going so I can get back to studying, playing, improving my skills and some songwriting/composing.

Anyhow, got a link for Kazoos and Kazoo instruction?

Oh yeah, I like that old jugband stuff, Memphis Jug Band for example.? Blues is my thing so I go back into that era.

I urge you to listen to Frank Zappa's version of 'Stairway to Heaven'? I cracked up when I heard it. It tells it like it really is.? Old timers will know what I mean. [edited to add: There are Kazoos in that version]

Frank Zappa recorded 87 albums by the way.? He was considered a musical genious.? I am barely familiar with his work.

Anyhow, talk is cheap so I've gotta get to work.

I am not fixing any typo errors in this post

later,
