Oh Roger, I had only picked 9 of my fav' Kazoo players, a good Kazoo player always leaves his public wanting more.

I've always hated the terms 'white man blues' or 'British Blues'. As a kid in the 60's music was also a fashion statement and it was 'hip' to like certain groups. I think it's probably the same now. I caught a bit of the Paul Jones programme and he played 2 'Stones' tracks, It's all over now and 2120 South Michigan avenue. I remember the feeling I got when I first heard the Valentinos original version of it's all over..The Stones covered some great tracks and went on to write some classics.

Do you remember the original Fleetwood Mac ? they had a hit with an instrumental called Albatross. I went straight out and bought their album , the cover had a back lane,a bin and a dog on and the music...excellent blues nothing like Albatross. of course Peter Green was 'schooled' by John Mayall....for me the best 'British blues man' was Alexis Korner his radio shows were a joy.

I think what really turned me onto the blues was hearing great songs thinking that they were the originals and then hearing the origanal versions by the likes of Jimmy Reed, Howlin' Wolf, Muddy Waters etc.
