Not only did I talk to Vanessa Carlton last night, but I also taught her to play kazoo.  I caught up with her before her show at the Crocodile Cafe and we chatted about her latest album, infusing your own vodka, and her dog Victor.  Victor was also quite present during the interview- running around, tearing up foam from the seat cushions, and climbing up on the table.  Near the end of the interview I presented her with a Groupee Backstage Live kazoo.  She needed a little coaching to start playing, but within seconds she was a pro and was playing it out the door.  She invited us to come to her sound check, and she even had her back-up musician play the kazoo in one of the intros to a song.  Unfortunately, the kazoo didn't really jive with their audio set-up, and it didn't make the final cut...
