Thread Name: Can you play a comb?
Subject: RE: Folklore: Can you play a comb?
I'll second that, Roger ! Bronco or Izal "bog standard" toilet paper and most definitely a steel comb. (Steel combs were, in 'my day' anyway, a must-have teenage fashion accessory). Being brought up in a household that had gone over to the luxury of Andrex "toilet tissue", I used to raid the loos at school - they had individual sheets, just the right size, didn't even have to tear it from a roll. My friend and I also used to collect the paper from "public conveniences" too. Ordinary tissue paper or grease-proof paper and plastic combs just don't provide the same effect. Nor do 'proper' kazoos.

Lloyd - I hope the old lady enjoys your comb and paper concert - and I hope you suggest you do a duet ??
