Not that unusual, but I responded to an ad of an older dude looking for someone who'd go shopping for him. He couldn't get down the stairs easily anymore. But really, he just wanted someone to talk to. So I'd go to his place, grab the shopping list and money, walk across the street to the nearest supermarket and be back in 20 minutes. And then he'd often cook for me and tell me about his life, travels, the music he composed on his very old computer, stuff like that. I'd get paid for 3-4 hours of which 90% was just talking to this guy about electronic music.
Was any of the music good?
Well, I didn't like it but I think he had some skills. He was into this minimalistic music, I forgot what it was called. I found it boring, but I could also tell he must have known a thing or two about music theory.
