Turn my Solo into a Duet

Hi, I’m Matt.  You might recognize me from “Free Live Music” posted elsewhere in Craigslist.  I’d like to take my show to a new level by adding a female vocalist/musician.  I play acoustic guitar and sing.  I don’t do either incredibly well, which is why I pick songs that crowds know and can sing along with – to cover my missed notes.  Therefore, you don’t need to be incredibly talented either (and if you are, you’ll just make me look bad).  But you’ve got to have a good sense of humor.  By that, I mean humor that aligns with my own.  For this to come off well, it’s not just about playing well enough for songs to be recognizable; we need to be able to play off one another well (musically and humorously).    If you’re looking to join an incredible band that will showcase your amazing talent, this isn’t for you.  If you’re looking to have fun with imperfect songs while entertaining crowds, try me out.   “What if I don’t play an instrument?”  Throw your hat in the ring anyway.  Maybe you can at least play tambourine.   “Do you have a preference in the instrument I play?”  Timpani are great, but they’re difficult to travel with, so that’s probably out.  Plus, the only song they really go well with is “Also sprach Zarathustra,” and I can’t play that on guitar.  Keyboard would be better because it would open up more 80s songs like “Take on Me”, and “Piano Man” will make a lot more sense to crowds than it does now.  But really, I can make do with any instrument, including a second guitar.   “Will I get paid?”  Not right now.  Let’s get some free gigs under our belts (assuming you wear a belt) and work our way up to the paid ones when our fans begin to exist.  I mean, they technically exist in the sense of being alive already; they just don’t know they’re going to become our fans.   “Is this just a way for you to meet women?”  No, but if I get a wide turnout then I should create a YouTube video about this – “Free Music Guy Reveals New Method of Meeting Women!”   “How do I know if my humor aligns with yours?”  Did anything I wrote in this post make you smile or laugh?  If yes, send me a message; you qualify.  If not, why did you read this far?
