The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Thought I'd share this one. I just found out my player was a little fast, which has since been corrected.

Thanks for the link. A fellow collector and I were discussing the Mount City Blue Blowers. He said that sometimes they sound as if they aren't using actual instruments but things they found lying around the house or garage. Wonderful stuff.

It wouldn't surprise me, some of the sounds are quite unique.

Well, they were basically a kazoo band....

Well... - Kazoo, Comb, Banjo and Guitar or Uke.

Its probably just a typo or auto-correct at work but they were the Mound City Blue Blowers (not Mount) in reference to St. Louis, MO.

Here is a hot one from 1929 recorded for Columbia....
