Go for it!!!

I've been playing keyboards for years (incl. piano lessons as a kid - grudgingly, in between football, hockey & just fooling around) but I got bored some years back and didn't play seriously for awhile - since my last bar/club band, for which I did mostly lights & sound and only played k/b on a few songs each set.

But just a few years ago I got rid of all the dusty electronic stuff and went back to piano again, this time to learn jazz piano. A "cast iron b*tch" as they used to say, because I have to think differently while I'm playing, and I'll never be very good, but man has it been worthwhile. I now "get it" and can appreciate artists like Bill Evans and Thelonious Monk in ways I never did.

No matter what you play (even drums [grin, wink]), playing makes you hear and appreciate music in a different and better way.
