Thread Name: Where do all the kazoos go???
Subject: RE: Where do all the kazoos go???
Hello BSeed! I saw Jesse Fuller here in the Bay Area many times(towards the end it was hard to enjoy a performer who was so obviously ill, but you're right, he could still put on a great show) and he was a tremendous inspiration to me. For my money he was the greatest one man band ever(remember his "footdella"? The bass instrument he played with his feet? Wow!) and a true hero of the kazoo. While we're talking about kazoo heroes, although primarily rememberd for his slide guitar playing, Tampa Red had some incredibly cool jazzy phrasing on the Kazoo.
