Hornfolks: 1) Cabbage is right. Perfect pitch is useless.
2) Mark; get some Oreos from Cabbage. They should help the 25% of pitches you don't get :} especially the double stuf ones :}} 3) Rebecca; I have a 21 yr old cockatiel who was taught 'Pop Goes the Weasel' in 1985 by me. He still knows it. Now this is funny-that bird does not have perfect pitch; but he has pitch recognition. I actually got him to sing the melody while whistling the harmony with him-and for the 1st or 2nd tries he messed up because he thought I was doing the original tune; but for some reason now he is able to 'ignore' the harmony and so we have this little duet going. I was thinking of calling up Guinness because he is so old (cockatiels usually die at age 21 and he is past that and in good health). The 3 Stooges? I've got every tape they ever made and then some, including rare comics. Larry was an actual violinist; I don't know about the other 5 Stooges' musical backgrounds if there were any (yes there were a total of 6 Stooges). What I do know is that they fought viciously amongst themselves all of the time off the set and did all of their own stunts. hest wishes Rachel Harvey Go figure. _______________________________________________ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music2.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
