Probably the most common way I play is to learn stuff. Usually there will be something that catches my imagination that will drive me to do some searching and reading on line. Sometimes that will satisfy my curiosity and sometimes I will look for more.
One of my favorite performing artists right now is Corb Lund. His song Horse Soldier, Horse Solder has generated a couple of sessions of searching for background. He mentions the name of the Confederate general Nathan Bedford Forest with whom I was not familiar. He also refers to an incident at Mayerthorpe, Alberta, Canada that I had to look up.
So just about anything can capture my attention as a opportunity to play. Even my job. :)
