Birds huddle bright-eyed on the beach. Katje's heart lightens, a little, at the sound. Slothrop doesn't yet have the European reflexes to clarinets, he still thinks of Benny Goodman and not of clowns or circuses -- but wait... aren't those *kazoos* coming? Yeah! A *lotta* kazoos! A kazoo *Band*! Late that night, back in her room, she wears a red gown of heavy silk..." And much, much later, "A kazoo stops playing. 'Wart waffles!' Gustav screams. 'Puke pancakes, with sweat syrup,' adds Andre Omnopon, as Gustav resumes playing, the Outer Voices meantime having broken off in confusion. 'And spread with pinworm preserves,' murmurs the cellist, who is not above a bit of fun." J On Fri, Jul 25, 2008 at 11:28 AM, wrote: > Paolo Conte is my favorite kazoo user.

Perhaps of interest Do all of you folks know about the contemporary Italian author Luigi Serafini? If not I recommend you find out about him -- beautiful in a way that appeals (I find) to many of the same neural pathways as does Robyn Hitchcock's work. A couple of entries about his "Codex Seraphinianus" on my blog, here: http://readin.com/blog/?k=book:codexs&o=a -- with links that will show you how to torrent the complete Codex. (A scan with scattered flaws; but mostly quite good and well worth your while when hard copies of the book are priced in the thousands of US dollars.)
