They’re also very fond of the beautiful wailing of the muezzin calling the Muslim faithful to prayer, or to a public execution, or whatever. Their father gave them a fluent demonstration, and they were hooked.

“OK, so then how do you know she doesn’t have perfect pitch?”

It is simple. I heard her. She has trouble singing on key.

I think I saw you on American Idol this week. Were you the one hauled off in cuffs?

No, because I don’t live in the U.S.A.

“What is the pitch (frequency) of this: Hmmmmmmm.” - F-.

Very funny but when I studied music they didn't have F-. But of course that was a long time ago. LOL.

Glad to hear you like classical music. Me too. But occasionally I take a break from it and listen to a little Brandi Carlile (just your average twenty-something Seattle-based lesbian singer-songwriter-folk-rocker).

Thank you for your sense of humour. I needed that. You are very kind.

I thought if I got some flack from the F- thing, I would state it was the key of E.

I’m off to see Glen Beck.

From what he has been saying, I’m not sure if I can stomach the show today. I’ll see. If not, I’ll run back to my computer.

My best wishes and thank you.

There are very few people that have perfect pitch. I know of one and he is a Las Vegas lounge singer.

Though I agree some people are born with it...

If you can remember a note, and recognize it, then you could develop perfect pitch with practice.

For instance, if you can remember, and “playback” in your head, the first notes of “Darth Vader’s Theme/Imperial March” or whatever it is called... That’s an “A” ...

...A A A F C A F C A

If you can now sing that pitch, and compare it with the one in your head, and match it, than I posit that you could, with practice, develop something that would pass for perfect pitch.

However, you do not have to be perfect pitch to recognize when someone is off pitch. In my experience, though, there are folks with virtually no sense of pitch at all. We get to see them sometimes audition for AI.

Regarding Ayla... She’s good but needs more practice. She may also have been nervous. And, it was still good. The range on that song is pretty big, over an octave-and-a-half without embellishments.

Loving the USA goes a long way with me. I thought it was great, and God Bless her.

You cannot "develop" absolute or perfect pitch. Re-read my definitions. I contend that most people don't know what it is, and they just throw the term out there when what they are really talking about is a well-developed sense of relative pitch.

I'm done playing Webster now. Talk to the perfect one for further clarification. By definition, his notions must be correct.
