[Dixielandjazz] "Everybody wants to be in the band" (back to the Kazoo thread)

[Goggin, Brian (Dublin)]

Thanks. I have the stuff he did with Fred Elizalde, which features him on
that.

He was a child prodigy aswell - gave a piano performance at the Waldorf aged
4 apparently. Played xylophone, vibes and drums aswell.
