I thought I would miss it more after playing 5 to 6 nights a week for 45 years. Now I seem to dread even going to play for a night somewhere. Sure, it's fun after you get going, but I don't like the loading, unloading, setting up etc., even though I have it down about as light and quick as possible.
Probably will change my mind...we'll see.
I raised my price again for private parties, so when I get one, it will be well worth it. Next scheduled job is in Oklahoma in July!
