beautiful kazoo

November 27, 2013

The bambazoo I bought from Doug, w/a hand-lettered red "B" on the wrapper. Sounds good, too...

Doug Shafer was playing his guitar at the Portland airport this summer, on that rare day I got on a plane to goto CA (for a day! to build an oven for a writer at Sunset, but that’s another story). I stopped to listen and talk. He had these beautiful little kazoos for sale, hand made from a small piece of bamboo, some duct tape, and a piece of an old plastic bag — beautiful! He sold ’em for about $5. A deal not to pass up. Doug’s website: http://www.doug-shafer.com/
