Everyone loves kazooing. I mean, they do … don’t they?

Well, if you fancy yourself a good kazoo, you can be a part of a world record attempt March 28 in Macon, Ga. It is then, during the town’s International Cherry Blossom Festival, it will attempt to break the Guinness World Record for largest kazoo ensemble. London set the record back in 2011 with 5,190 participants. I suspect the record will be broken since the town is bringing out the “big guns” in Kazoo King Rick Hubbard. He seems … fun? 

All proceeds go to the Otis Redding Foundation & Otis Redding Center for the Arts, and you will even get free kazoo out of it. 

Now, buzz through today’s RTO Insider news.

From everyone at RTO Insider, thanks for reading and enjoy the rest of your day!
