I'm doing this now.

Was it worth it? Sure. Why not? It's fun. It can be frustrating but so is anything in life. The main drawback is the lack of synergistic collaboration with others; but then again there's very little fighting and when I show up the whole band is there. I missing being in a good band but putting one together is just too much of a pain in the ass right now.

-I can't drum to save my life. Stephen Hawking can hit the skins better than me. have my sons do some drumming; the rest I use drum machines.
-I can play really slow simple keyboard parts.
-I'm trying to find a singer for vox; my g/f sings well but not in the style I need for the CD.

Regarding Sean's post, I move the mics around with my prehensile phallus. Works like a charm.
