Sure, but playing even 3 times per week is VERY taxing. If you play, let’s say, from 10 to 1, you probably won’t be in bed before 3. And it’s the equivalent to running 10 miles or perhaps even more, if you move a lot and try to engage the audience very much. It’s exhausting, and I don’t envy anybody who has to play every day. I don’t know how people like Justin Timerlake are able to keep this up for decades.
