Hocrap. When did this happen?

I got an e-mail from somebody who saw one of my many (well, three) ads posted around campus - he's interested in teaching me the violin over the summer!
The catch? He's a fairly well-known composer hereabouts. I was expecting, y'know, some undergrad in music who wanted to gain some experience. I don't know if he'll go for the barter system I'm proposing, since I assume he knows his theory well enough not to need lessons from me.
Also: he's a fan of Terry Pratchett (judging by the fact that he wrote a whole comedy-opera about it).
What am I getting into?
Heeheehee. Who cares? I'm so excited (and I just can't hide it).
Also: Doctor Who = fantastic. Where's it been all my life? Oh, that's right. In Britain. *shakes fist*

If I had gone a-seeking music lessons, I definitely would have stipulated that my teacher had a masked deformity. Chances are you're getting a better deal- though he may try and coerce you into becoming his bride and living in the ground with him. In your situation, I don't know if that would be better or worse.
But anyhoo, hope the lessons go well! *applauds*

He's put out CDs and whatnot. That's sort of intimidating.
But I love me some accompanyingistification jobs! *rolls along* I was hoping to form a Dynamic Duo at some point, anyway...
Many thanks for the best wishes and applause! :D!
