Answer
I don't know what your goal is.  If it is to make a living from music, I don't recommend it.  It is a hard life, and requires a very thick skin, a relentless drive, a refusal to consider any other career, a willingness to make some compromises, and a lot of luck.  Talent and a strong feeling for music are not enough.

But if your goal is satisfaction and life enhancement, one is never too old.  You should, by all means, learn as much as you can about music.  Lessons, college classes, going to concerts, listening carefully to the radio, seeking out things to read.  It will give you pleasure, it will enhance your understanding, and it will enrich your life.  Isn't that enough?
