I'd say "So go play with him. I've got reality to attend to."

I'm impressed. I have an awesome connection, great equipment, and have
been playing Bard for 3 years now. I still barely manage 4. I prefer 3,
as it lets me think instead of just button mashing, and lots of times, that
think-time lets me adjust my songs on the fly to changing circumstances -
something that 5-song goober probably can't manage. Also remember that
every time he sings a song, he's getting area-effect aggro, so multiply
that times five, and you're probably seeing a bard who abuses the
high-level clerics in his guild.

You're doing just fine. Don't sweat it.
