32 years here, yes I’ve played lots of shows and a few decent multi day festivals. That was when I was young, I’ve since aged out of playing in serious bands but I’m not opposed to something casual playing small gigs. I’ve written a good amount of music ranging from stoner metal to psychedelic pop. I still write music but don’t have a lot of time to record it and it takes a lot longer to flesh full songs out due to work and other obligations and hobbies. I took a couple year break and got back to playing a lot about two years ago, spent a small fortune on guitars and gear which has only made me play and enjoy playing even more than ever before. When I was younger it was more of an ends to a means, and a way to make friends and socialize. Now it’s definitely more of a hobby, but I enjoy it more and progress much easier. Having a couple of decades you kind of have to be either negligent or retarded if you can’t pick up new techniques or improve at playing a certain style.
