Hi,
My name is Mark Di Giuseppe. I’m a one man band and an old friend of “Just Will”. I haven’t seen him in almost 20 years though.

I can imagine the old geezer getting cranky on you, but that comes from many years of playing on the street and having too many obtrusive photographers not contribute. Don’t take it personally. It happens to the best of us. Strangely enough, I wound up marrying somebody on the other end of the viewfinder.

Anyway, I’m helping to complete the world’s largest encyclopedia of one man bands ever attempted with a friend in Canada (I live in Italy by the way). I’m hoping that you would give permission to use one of these pictures of Just Will to go with the small article I wrote on him. There is no money involved, not even a free copy of the book, but I do believe contributors can get a copy at cost. There are no sponsors involved here. It’s being totally funded by buskers busking. It would be very kind and appreciated!

Thanks,
Mark Di Giuseppe
