Rick and I returned early yesterday morning from the 2007 NAMM show. It was a great weekend and we accomplished a lot in the two days we spent walking the show floor. This year brought over 1500 exhibiting companies and over 84,000 attendees! We found many new products that we will be adding over the next few months. One of the highlights of the trip for me was the Epiphone VIP party (www.epiphone.com) held in one of the Anaheim Hilton's lounges. (Another big thanks to Chuck for the tickets.) The opening act was Stacy Mitchhart, (http://www.myspace.com/stacymitchhart), if you ever get a chance to see this guy live you should go.

We are now more excited than ever about the year ahead. Thanks to all of our customers who make our continued growth and improvement possible!

Normally January is a quiet month around the factory. Time for us to clean up our desk, organize the inventory, and plan projects and improvements for the coming year. The past couple of weeks have been anything but quiet and have everyone around here feeling like we are still in the holiday rush. Ever since William Shatner's metal trombone kazoo performance on the hit show Boston Legal we have been struggling to keep up with the orders. Check out the Kazoobie Kazoos blog at http://kazoobie.blogspot.com/ to find our more about the show and his performance.

We have a lot of exciting projects planned this year. Rick has been extremely busy updating the site with the new blog and a major overhaul of our homepage at www.KAZOOS.com. Not to mention the countless hours he has spent setting up www.ikazoo.net. We are also working on enhancing our shipping options and product offering. If you have any thoughts or ideas please let us know. Both Rick and I will be attending the NAMM (www.NAMM.com) show next week to source new products and meet with current vendors.

I hope to keep this blog updated with kazoo industry news from both our company and our other partner companies. If you have any questions please let me know.

 Happy Kazooing!!!
