Realizing that two left feet and an off-key voice would be large impediments to becoming a pip, I dreamt of becoming a banjo virtuoso (like Bela Fleck) instead. I’m also tone deaf—another thwarted dream. It seems my destiny is to enjoy others’ performances instead.

The good news is, you're not truly deaf, so you can enjoy the performances! I once saw Bela long ago while he was playing with New Grass Revival, a group on my list to write about. (And Cedar, if you're reading, I saw them at the Birchmere!).
I love the banjo, but I've always wanted to come back in my next life as either an awesome fiddler or bass player.
You wanted to be a banjoist? This is a HUGE revelation!
Well, that or a harpist. I thought the banjo was a bit more portable though.
And more good news, you have great taste in music.
Plus the musicians need people like us, the adoring cash-in-fist fans.
I always get Bela Fleck mixed up with Bela Bartok. A natural mistake.
PS: I had to borrow my son's laptop to leave this comment. See how devoted I am? (IB's blog is next.)
Your efforts are much appreciated Susan :).
