There’s one in every crowd.
For a group of women who met with the Neighbors & Newcomers of Greater Winston-Salem, it was Sharon Potusky.
Why don’t we start a kazoo band for the holidays?
The idea caught on, and “The Ladies Kazoo Band of Greater Winston-Salem” was formed with members from across the area, including Davie County. They performed at Bermuda Village and at Bermuda Commons last week.
“Sharon decided we could play kazoos and have fun,” said Denise Bell, adding that if you can hum a tune, you can play the kazoo.
“We’re from the Juliard Kazoo School … we just named it,” said leader Kris Ryan, just prior to the Bermuda Village performance. “We’re going to kazoo – that’s a verb, not a noun – Christmas songs today.”
All agreed with Ryan that there is one thing for certain about the kazoo.
“It will make you feel better.”
Members also include Carole Adkin, Ruth Getz, Nancy Holder, Elaine Potusky, Penny Robinson, Joyce Rogers, Debra Siefer and Bonnie Ward.
