[Dixielandjazz] Kazoo Marching Bands

Hello Listmates,

See what I mean about "No Respect!"?  Here is Edgerton, who tootles along on 
a clarinet thinking he is ever so much better than a kazooist. Talk about 
unmerited snobbery!

An accomplished kazooist can outplay the clarinet any day! Smooth unbroken 
glissandos, subtle "vocalese" tonal qualities, unlimited note intervals 
(quarter steps, eighth steps, even 16th steps and more). There are other 
areas of superiority to itemize which I will do as soon as I think of some.

You never hear a kazooist complain that he has to "change his reed" as an 
excuse for poor tone quality!

So there!
