Wow, what a buzz that must have been Charles, playing with an orchestra? Wow!!

As a kazoo appreciator I'm in awe of the Voodoo Guru of Kazoo...

And "West Virginia" sounds great.

A buzz indeed! And one that lingered. We were amazed and amused a year later when Kimo, the orchestra conductor, dropped by a Flood gig and that he had his Flood kazoo in his pocket! In fact, we even got him up to jam with us on a tune. :)

Of course, the kazoo had a big following in the animal kingdom as well. Here's a big of conversation from a gig, what? 10 years later?

Ha, ha, ha...I've heard of dogs going crazy over sounds, but not horses before.

Mind you as a city boy born and bred I dont' come across many horses when I'm playing my kazoo!
