I guess I can't sing after all. Hmm. There goes that ~~illusion~~ delusion.

Fun test anyway. http://detrave.net/nblume/perfect-pitch/

How'd you do?

Thanks for the link! I come from a musical family. Though I wouldn't SING for y'all... I played the piano for years. Thank goodness I didn't try to SING it - mags!!! I love that! Too cute!

Wow Shrila! I wonder if I keep going there if I can teach myself a pitch of some sort. You got the black keys too! You can accompany Gladys (Gail) when she sings for us. bink

As we say here, "Oh brothah!"

I tried to 'sing' the pitch, too. Nothing.

Then I realized the object of this adventure. After trying for 10 minutes, I had the grand score of zero. I got a couple right. When wrong, I was one note off (some of the time).

Not feeling very successful...

You and mags trusted me and didn't read the rules. Not that I can't be trusted but I assumed youse would read the rules. I was consistently one note off too. At least you can whistle. You can always fall back on that. bbb

Rules? I can't find any rules. I've looked three times. (ccc)

Click link. Upper right hand corner read word: Rules. LOL bink

Not on my page... (ccc)

I have perfect pitch. But I already knew that. NOT that I never hit a sour note when singing though. I think everyone is capable of that. Except maybe Pavarotti or Johnny Mathis. And even they have probably hit a klunker or two. Heh Makes me wish I still had my piano. :-(

I am so impressed! The next time we have a board meet you'll have to sing for us! You be Gladys Knight and Charlotte, mags and I will be your Pips. :D bink

Bink I will never live this down!!

I ''tried'' to take your pitch test. I'm sitting here hitting that ''Play'' key and then I sang the note. I can't wait to get my score!!

Tom comes walking in and he said ''What are you doing?''

I said ''I'm taking a ''Perfect Pitch Test''.

He said ''Well, don't you need a microphone?!!!" Then he's rolling on the floor laughing his head off and saying cute little things like ''Why don't you go sing to my car?"

Now I'm pleading with him not to tell this little story to anyone. He can't wait of course!

To make matters worse, he's now gone to play golf and I plugged in my microphone. Of course then I find out it has nothing to do with singing! (He's not going to hear about the last part!!!)

It's a good thing you live clear across the country! LOL

OMG! ROFLMAO mags!!! I wish I could have seen that!!! OTOH, maybe it IS a good thing I'm not closer. That is hilarious. Did you ever figure out if you're a Gladys like Gail or a Pip like Charlotte and me? bink
