This week we celebrate the Kazoo. Here is a brief history of this magical insturment as stated in Wikipedia It is popularly believed that Alabama Vest, an African-American in Macon, Georgia, invented the kazoo around 1840, although there is no documentation to support that claim.[2] The story originated with the Kaminsky International Kazoo Quartet, a group of satirical kazoo players, which may cast doubt on the veracity of the story,[3] as does the name "Alabama Vest" itself. In 1879, Simon Seller received a patent for a "Toy Trumpet" that worked on the same principle as a kazoo: "By blowing through the tube A, and at the same time humming a sort of a head sound, a musical vibration is given to the paper covering c over the aperture b, and a sound produced pleasing to the ear."[4] Seller's "toy trumpet" was basically a hollow sheet-metal tube, with a rectangular aperture cut out along the length of the tube, with paper covering the aperture, and a funnel at the end, like the bell of a trumpet. The first documented appearance of a kazoo was that created by an American inventor, Warren Herbert Frost,[2] who named his new musical instrument kazoo in his patent #270,543 issued on January 9, 1883. The patent states, "This instrument or toy, to which I propose to give the name 'kazoo' "..."[5] Frost's kazoo did not have the streamlined, submarine shape of modern kazoos, but it was similar in that the aperture was circular and elevated above the length of the tube. The modern kazooalso the first one made of metalwas patented by George D. Smith of Buffalo, New York, May 27, 1902.[2][6] In 1916, the Original American Kazoo Company in Eden, New York started manufacturing kazoos for the masses in a two-room shop and factory, utilizing a couple of dozen jack presses for cutting, bending and crimping metal sheets. These machines were used for many decades. By 1994, the company produced 1.5 million kazoos per year and was the only manufacturer of metal kazoos in North America.[7][8] The factory, in nearly its original configuration, is now called The Kazoo Factory and Museum. It is still operating, and it is open to the public for tours. -https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kazoo January 27 National Chocolate Cake Day Punch the Clock Day January 28 National Kazoo Day Data Privacy Day Fun at Work Day January 29 National Puzzle Day National Corn Chip Day Bubble Wrap Appreciation Day January 30 Draw a Dinosaur Day National Croissant Day January 31 Backward Day Inspire Your Heart With Art Day
