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 :). _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
