Who's your favorite kazoo player?

Who-da-thunk! Electric kazoos. You can buy them at Guitar Center for $16.95.

Several years ago, we put together a jump blues / pseudo swing band. We booked a demo session before we were able to hire a sax player, and sax was fairly critical to what we were doing. Soooo, we laid down the sax parts with a kazoo as a place holder until we could get a sax player to redo the parts. Well, it turned out to be fairly cool so we left the kazoo part in place. Our version of "Sing, Sing, Sing" was actually picked up and put on the "New Millennium Swing" compilation along with several national acts...turned out to be the biggest single paycheck I've ever received as a musician. So, yeah, I dig a kazoo;).
 
While _not_ a kazoo, my wife has recently taken up the Crumhorn, a medieval twin-reed offshoot of the recorder and ancestor to the oboe; sounds remarkably like a kazoo...

(I apologize for the ambiguous construction of that sentence. To clarify, neither my wife nor the Crumhorn is a kazoo. Thank you.)

Thank-you for clarifying that, I was wondering what your wife is when she wasn't busy being a kazoo.
