Join the Kazoo Festival and Break a World Record
9/27/2007 -9/27/2007
7:30 PM -7:30 PM
Kazoo craziness took over Luther Williams Field Thursday night, as Macon tried to break a world record. The crowds came out in full force, with their eyes on the prize. The prize, being a spot in the guiness book of world records, for the world's largest kazoo ensemble.
"Well, there's no more fitting place for us to break the world record than where the kazoo was made. Where Otis Redding was born, and many other great musicians." - Jimmy Lowery, Kazooist. They kazooed "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" for five straight minutes, with "world record authenticators" standing by, to make sure the crowd was playing by the rules. "The last time I played a kazoo before today - I have been practicing - but it's been several years ago." - Robert Reichert, Mayoral Candidate
The grand finale even included fireworks, but what it didn't include, was a world record. Fair officials estimate there were about 2,000 people out there, but we needed at least 2700 to break the record. That record was set last New Year's Eve, in Rochester, New York, when 2,679 people came together to do a little kazooing.
Yes, I was there! :) And once I have the opportunity to watch all the news channels I'll post any video I may happen to appear on. (Until then, here is a video with no close up of me!)Oh, but it gets better...

Actually, they said on the news this morning that we were only about 200 short of the record...oh well...Maybe that camera guy you flirted with will put us on TV somewhere!
And all my dreams have now been fulfilled, as I have now seen Dave Price in person...lol. :o)

I know...me too! Actually I wanted to ask him about CBS firing Renee Silar, but I don't he would have answered me. I have big issues with that, and haven't been a faithful watcher since she left.
I did hear that we were just short of the record. That sucks! I'm telling you, had they just closed down the park for 20 minutes, we would have beat it.

I was wondering what happened to her -- they fired her??? I may have to strike.

Yes, I read it in my most recent issue of Health Magazine! Crazy huh? She had a double mascetomy too.
