Thanks! I was with my last band for 13 years. After the liberating euphoria of quitting I suffered through a severe three month depression, I lost a big part of my identity. To be back on stage is like coming home.
I know exactly how you felt. Last year I was without a band for most of the year for the first time in nearly 20 years (not the same band the whole time though). I had the same reaction. Now I'm back in two bands and it really feels good.
Playing seems to be an addiction that is hard to get over.
I guess we all needed a support group.
