Being a fan
Recently I’ve become friends with a wonderful entertainment duo (Jay Ungar and Molly Mason). I am really enjoying the time I spend with them on line. It’s not a “normal” friendship in that we’ve never met, but I feel surprisingly close to these talented, music-minded folks.
We facebook occasionally and they know I listen to all of their live streamed concerts. But I know that to them, I am just a fan. Famous folks have fans hanging around all the time.
I’ve learned to be content with what life hands you. Right now, “knowing them” when they perform their concerts has to be enough. I am lucky to have this much contact with such an awesome musical couple.
I guess I’m no different than others who follow famous folks. I’m awe-struck and I’m impressed.
I could listen to them continuously but I guess that makes me a typical fan.
