Am I a frustrated performer?
Sometimes imagine that I\’m doing fancy show-riding to music; such as this fast-and-furious polka. It would take terrific stamina both of leg and heart; and strength far beyond what I have. Maybe I never will have the strength and stamina for such a performance. For one thing, I lack the time and resources for such training; and at my age I\’m too old for it.
But what fun it would be to work out the moves! I could start with some leave-the-ground turning jumps on those two accented chords; and there would be a lot of furiously fast pedaling. During the more lyrical middle part, I\’d go into some wide, sweeping, lean-into-it curves. Then, just before the end, sweep up a ramp; fly through the air; and land/freeze on that final chord.
Or maybe it\’s just wild fancies? I guess you could say that I\’m a frustrated performer. Or, perhaps, a show-off at heart.
