When I ask them to be more specific on this, they start to cool off.  One person when asked what note I was playing on the piano went cold on the idea altogether.  To me, having perfect pitch means being able to detect or aurally produce a note within a maybe a few beats, but no one has demonstrated to me that they can get that close.  I would imagine that singers would be pretty accurate, but not perfect.  Any comments? Brian Holden</blockquote> </body> </html>
