polka anyone?
i just got a call to my mobile phone from a number i did not recognize. usually when that happens, i let it go to voicemail and then check it out.
this particular lady (who will remain nameless) from an assisted living facility left a recording that she had heard from another lady (who also will remain nameless) that i played the accordian and wondered if i would be interested in coming to play for her assisted living people. she gave a return number.
needless to say, i called her back to let her know that i was not the person she probably wanted. we found out where the number skewed, and she thanked me for letting her know.
since i've changed my number, i've had a few calls to the prior owner of the number, sometimes asking for various things. once, i got an offer to return to an establishment in pigeon forge and bartend again this past summer. (although i imagined the life like the movie cocktail, i never did return that call.)
morale of the story: if your life is boring and you get the same ol' calls all the time, change your phone number and see how interesting it gets.

for some added fun you gotta field some of these calls as though you're the very accordian -playing-barkeep dude being sought..... back in the days of youth at my parents house the number there was one digit variant from a local apartment complex.......talk about messing with the minds of prospective tenants; they probably thought the place was switching to Elvis voice in the ghetttttoooooooo........
LOL! I get calls for some foreign guy who doesn't pay his bills! And since he's foreign his friends live in a different time zone and I've been woken up in the middle of the night by someone speaking a language I KNOW I've never heard before!!
maybe it's your contact in prague giving you mission intel....
