Thanks Joe O for starting this off with a description that makes me think Ed remained spirited much as he was in High school.
We were classmates at Pennsauken High, NJ '72
There he was founder and leader of a Kazoo club, which somehow fulfilled our club requirement for a small ragtag group. He discoursed on Irish folk music, and led us in developing a group repertoire. I recall Jim Kweskin's "Jug Band music" as especially vibrant on kazoo. A unique spirit who is missed.
