I play music because i enjoy it..
I even enjoy doing my piano lessons for half an hour a day..
After a long day at work sitting behind my keyboards works like the ultimate stress relieve valve..
It makes me relax, and i feel reborn after one or two hours playing..
No more then 2 hours tough, because after that my back starts to hurt..
I don't like playing for others..
Because i have learned that i get stressed by doing so..
And thats exactly the opposite from what i want to achieve..
So i decided long ago to only play in my home with a headset on..
I think its as many players as many reasons we will find..
And the good thing is, all reasons are okay as long as you like what you are doing.
