Kazoo Players Wanted

How, exactly, do I recruit kazoo players? It's not an idle question because I need three kazooists(?) with strong lungs and no shame. They will be my accompaniment at Exchanging Notes on February 18 at AlleyCatz restaurant, put on by the Toronto Writers Co-op. Instead of some boring old reading Exchanging Notes mixes text with music. Last time out I read something of my own and had a honking saxophone play along. It seemed appropriate since the material was a piece of noir-ish crime fiction. And what's a bit of noir-ish crime fiction without a sax or some other horn blasting out a warning that all is not what it seems? This year I'm reading from the work of two quite different authors rather than subject the crowd to my stuff yet again. And I need three kazoo players to provide the musical backing. It should be fun - I think.
