[Blindtlk] absolute pitch

[lras]

We tend to get steered into music by others or by our own interest in sound. 
I just think that exposure to singing and playing music identifies more 
people who have absolute pitch.  My experience is that if you don't keep 
your ears calibrated to sources of known pitch, your absolute pitch can 
drift over the years.  And studies show that although most people have 
relative pitch (know if a note is higher than another), about 5 percent of 
the population is tone-deaf.
