Yes, probably.

Two reasons:

1: Playing music is always fun, but when you're playing and singing for people who are actually listening and responding to your songs, I find it to be just a tremendous rush. It only happens a small fraction of the time - a lot of the time you're just background - but it does happen often enough to keep me going.

2: When people pay me to perform, I consider the money isn't "real," so I can spend it on toys with a clear conscience. Usually, the toys involved are more instruments.
