I get all my musical satisfaction from playing, these days, which is to say, when I'm not playing, music isn't a big presence in my life. That's one of the reasons I seek playing out so much.

I often go - I try to go - out to hear friends perform, but I have begun classifying that as social, not cultural. There is enjoyment, and appreciation of the music, but it is another class of positive, and not at the extreme end of the spectrum, where playing is.

Listening to music doesn't provide me with nearly as much pleasure and satisfaction as performing music does. That pleasure has to have a bio- and neuro-chemical component, and it is quite habit-forming.

So... for me, love is not the drug. Music is.
