The Kazoo

It hasn't revolutionized music but it sure is fun to play! The kazoo as we know it today, was invented in the 1840s by two men in Macon, Georgia named Alabama Vest and Thaddeus Von Clegg. A small factory in western New York began mass producing the instrument in 1912, and the kazoo began to enjoy widespread popularity especially with country string bands and early jazz ensembles.

LAST MONTH: The big draw, hitswise, last month was an interview done by fellow revolutionary, Lydia. It just so turns out that she interviewed the very artists we featured the previous month and in the Oct. newsletter, The Hometown Hecklers. To read the interview and find out why it drew over 1000 hits one day check:

You'll laugh, cry, wonder what the fuss is about??? LOL!

IMPORTANT!: So it turns out that I'm finally recording that album of tracks that I always fancied I'd record. It's a collection of my favorite compositions from the last 15 years -- all inspired and all still holding great meaning to me. I've rewritten, preproduced, demoed, am tracking, producing, engineering and publishing everything myself. The only job that I will outsource is the mastering. All this said, it turns out that I'm not as good as I thought I was. It turns out that creating music IS 90% ego. I'm still excited to finish and show what I've accomplished to the world but I'm just not as sure as I once was... :S

NEWS: Last month, the UN honoured Jay-Z for his philanthropic efforts. As a plus, Ban Ki-moon also gave the rap mogul his nod for baggin' tha B... Simple Plan have released the single, "Save You" in support of cancer research and a flailing career... In an EXTREMELY tragic case of "be careful what you wish for", Jennifer Hudson lost her mother, brother and nephew in October. Is fame worth the price? And.. The Beatles come to Rock Band with their own brand and own songs. Alright kiddies.. playtime's.. just about to start?..

PROPAGANDA: Man! These jokes write themselves! The Jonas Brothers are about to star in a film titled, "Walter the Farting Dog". Careful boys. Don't overextend yourselves... After 14 years of agony filled waiting, "Chinese Democracy" is set to hit store shelves! Chinese what?.. Jermaine Jackson gave us the scoop folks! The Jackson 5 PLUS Randy PLUS Janet will re-unite!!! Big Tour! Big Music! Big Money! But wait.. Nobody thought to ask Michael - LOL!.. P.S. Michael Jackson turned down the reunion AGAIN! AND. Led Zepplin aren't going anywhere without Robert Plant either. Bagels just don't taste that good without cream cheese :D.. BOO! Happy Halloween!

Love,
