953 nut 57,581 #1 Posted January 28 If you haven’t used a kazoo since elementary school (or if you’ve never used one at all), then get ready to play! After all, National Kazoo Day’s here. It all began when Joyful Noise Kazoo Band member Chaplin Willard Rahn founded the day in 1983. National Kazoo Day is meant to celebrate all the ways that playing (and listening) to the kazoo bring happiness to people of all ages. So on January 28, celebrate by listening to kazoo bands or by playing your own. Alabama Vest, a man from Macon, Georgia, invented the fun musical instrument in the 1940s that everyone still loves today. Audiences get their first glimpse of a kazoo at the 1852 Georgia State Fair. Emil Sorg, a traveling salesman, teams up with toolmaker Michael McIntyre to manufacture the kazoo in 1912. In 1923 McIntyre received a patent for the kazoo production process and product. 2 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
