I have sort of a special interest in kazoos & mirlitons. I would also assume that Roger the Skiffler is interested in kazoos as well (maybe). Thanks again! |

From: Geoff the Duck When I saw this thread I was going to mention that I recalled an article written some years back by Ronnie Wharton, but I see that Amos has already found a copy of it on-line. Ronnie used to be one of the organisers of the Topic Folk Club in Bradford (West Yorks). Quack! GtD. |
