Hello [REDACTED],
Sorry for the delay responding. You have an impressive CV! Let me
say that I had in mind something pretty modest, more for fun than for
money, since I'm not a professional musician. The idea would be to go
around different neighborhoods, playing unusual music to amuse/confuse
people. [more details.] Are you interested in something like that?
If so, could you meet sometime this week/weekend for an experimental jam
session? [...]
