Nothing better could happen to a musician ;). Unfortunately, if we
become older and older and older, we know too much about music theory
and start to question our ideas, using idiotic valuations. Be happy not
to be a German, we differ between "serious music" and "entertainment
music", AFAIK we are the only nation with this neurosis. Perhaps I'm
mistaken.

:D

I once read that Paco de Lucía never heard about scales before he
played with Al Di Meola and John McLaughlin. I own this disgusting first
release of "Friday Night in San Francisco". To know what a scale is,
not necessarily is something good, as demonstrated by "Friday Night in
San Francisco", one of the most disgusting recordings I ever bought,
when I was young :).
