I did my first gig when in college back in 1965. I was asked to join a Peter, Paul, & Mary clone band. It was a lot of fun and I was hooked.
Military, family, and the rest of normal life curtailed my performing until I co-founded a Classic 50/60's R&R band in 1985. What we thought would be a one time gig turned into a 27 year rockfest.
I began performing solo with my acoustic guitar at an Open Mic in San Francisco around 1997 or so. That proved to be a LOT of fun and to this day I play at two O/M's per wk. I also played solo for pay for about 15 years or so.
My advice: GO FOR IT!
