Color my world

OK, OK, this is going to sound really, REALLY corny, and the thing that
annoys me, is that I always seem to be the arch-villian, like the little boy
who cryed wolf, AND saw the Emporer's new cloths, altho I never cryed wolf,
I always end up more the fool, with nobody really takeing me seriously.

Its like me inventing the tri-hat, in 1993,~~__~-> I tell people at partys,
and they think I made it up for purely an effect....

The responce to this pose about RELATIVE vs ABSOLUTE pitch I really have put
some effort into, because, back-a-ways in 1994, I actually brought David L
Burge's PERFECT PITCH course, and did the exercises.

I did, in fact, hear faint colors in the tones, but, I could never let
myself go enough to hear them, as I can get really tense and uptight at times.

At the end of a hard day at work, I played , just for a joke, the note "B",
with a plain organ timbre, and:

BBBB A N N GGGG
B B A A N N N G G
B B A A N N N G
BBB A A N N N G
B B AAAAAAA N N N G GGGGGG
B B A A N N N G G
B B A A N N N G G
BBB A A N N GGG

...I heard the color.

It was a color allright, but I'd say it had a soft, stupid sort of sound.

However, this perception of tonal color only lasted 2 seconds, and to this
day, I have never, ever, EVER been able to regain that experience that I had.

EVER...

I can imagine that hearing the aural colors in sound with perfect pitch
would be like seeing a painting with false colors, or off-colors.

I wanted to ask the post maker email: <engell69@gte.net> if he/she has
always had perfect pitch, and on a related concept, I urge you all to look
up the:

TRITONE PARADOX

I wanted to know what the effect of drugs and medicines on perfect pitch
are, but every time I try out the link to this particular subset of the
absolute pitch reference site, it always seems to be down, or jammed.

I woudl appreciate as much feedback as possible on this as I have always
wanted this ability of absolute pitch, but it has always elluded me.
