Mike--A great tale! Jesse Fuller, who wrote "San Francisco Bay Blues," had a kazoo tucked in beside his blues harp in his harmonica holder. He played them along with guitar (usually 12-string) and his home-made foot pedal electric bass. I saw him near the end of his life-- he'd have coughing fits between songs, but still put on a great show. He lived in Oakland, across the bay from SF, and had family in Berkeley. I had his granddaughter in a freshman English class at Berkeley High. --seed
