Do brilliant musicians who cannot read music, sometimes wish they could?

Just curious. I've 36, been a piano student for over seven months, and feel that I'm at a disadvantage for having to read music to be able to play it (although reading music comes really easy to me and, according to my piano instructor, I'm a very fast learner).
The only two songs I can play by ear (without looking at the music) are For The Beauty of the Earth and the first page of Stairway to Heaven. Everything else, I have to read the music.
Have already completed Primer last year and I'm just about to complete Level 1 in a just a couple of weeks or less.

ive been a bassist for 11 years….and i would have given anything if i could go back and learn how to read music…ive only been reading and writing music for two years now….you dont have to know how to read music to be successful at it…..music is a language….its just like people you can talk but cant read….get what im saying?…however,being able to read musicwill progess your playing ability….so yes,i wish i started reading music back then……stick with it your doing fine,im sure….good luck!!
