yes, good point about thw difference between tonal memory and perfect pitch. I have known a couple child prodigies with perfect pitch; very cool! But as Clinton said, a pain in the ass, too...

I have excellent tonal memory (can pull a note out of the air if it is something I have sung or heard before--partly brain memory and partly, if it is something I have sung, the memory in the throat muscles) but not perfect pitch...though some have mistakenly called it that when they saw I was able to recall the starting note of something so we could remember what key to play in...
