Besides, that was two lifetimes ago. Since then, I've been a teacher

That is a flat contradiction in terms. A dilettante does not "hone
skills" or do anything but flit carefree from fun gig to fun gig.

A big ole negatory on that. Dilettantes do hone skills. Just not very
completely, and across a lot of venues. Gigs don't always come in the
fun variety, but mileage varies on that. Flitting, also, is a matter of
choice.
