National Kazoo Day
Date When Celebrated: Event is always January 28
It's concert time, so dust off your favorite childhood musical instrument. People young and old love Kazoos. National Kazoo Day celebrates the joy of this musical instrument. Alabama Vest of Macon Georgia made the first Kazoo in the 1840's. Actually, he conceived the Kazoo, and had Thaddeus Von Clegg, a German clockmaster make it to his specifications. Commercial production of the Kazoo didn't occur until many years later in 1912. Manufacturing was first started by Emil Sorg in Western New York. Sorg joined up with Michael McIntyre, a Buffalo tool and die maker. Production moved to Eden, NY where the factory museum remains today. Kazoos are easy to play. Simply hum a tune into the kazoo, and you're an expert. Kazoos can be played solo, or in groups. It plays a great tune both ways. What do you do on National Kazoo Day? Why, play the kazoo, of course. A solo is quite acceptable. playing the kazoo with a group of friends, is even more fun.
