somewhere over the rainbow

Fortunate me! Got to catch Harry Potter on complimentary tix, after being mildly disturbed at the idea of having no one to watch it with. Thanks so much for the company, you. :)
Over supper at Crystal Jade, Dale was reminiscing (as usual) the experiences he's had playing with friends in various bands past and present...about how the ability of a musician to reach out to the audience, to touch a cord in their hearts is what determines his success, rather than how well he's recognised or how much he fetches a gig. And we were back to the question of what I've always really wanted to do, and what I really want to do right now. Got me thinking... I've wanted to be a Walt Disney figure skater or animator, or some wildlife researcher. Come to think of it... I've tried these things. I took ice skating lessons, doodled cartoons, attempted a course at zoology. But as time has passed the former 2 fade away to become distant dreams. What comes upon me more strongly now... the idea of playing music- christian, or jazz- in a band, as part of a greater company; or performing the lindy hop. Just that I can't do any of these at all. Playing jazz at Southbridge? Ha. Sings *dream...dream dream dream...on*
