So do you think we should weave the two booking agents/promoters from
Nashville into this story or abandon the whole thing as a bit too cruel?

I will say that the best scams appeal to the victim's "dark side" (greed,
pride, self-importance, avarice, etc.).   This may turn into a world class
'April Fool' joke or maybe it should be abandoned as coming a little too
close to home.
