William 'Red' McKenzie (October 14, 1899 – February 7, 1948)[1] was an American jazz vocalist and musician who played a comb as an instrument. He played the comb-and-paper by placing paper, sometimes strips from the Evening World,[2] over the tines and blowing on it, producing a sound like a kazoo.[3]
