Old stuff I still knowOur Ginger Fuhrer says that he could still code up a simple game idea in Amstrad Basic, while I'm your man if you ever need to rebuild the suspension on an Austin Allegro (1750 Equipe version). This stuff doesn't leave your mind - tell us about obsolete talents you still have.

Perfect pitch will always be superior..to machinery (hopelessly elitist musical snob speaking). And I transpose by hand as well. You're not the only one! We should have a support group.

On the downside, however......genuinely perfect pitch is a bugger if you are:
1) Performing in a venue with an out of tune organ (I remember a recording session once where it wsa nearly a semitone off)
2) Anything baroque being done not at A440.
It's really hard to unhook perfect pitch

Ugh too right. I specialised in Baroque and Renaissance at college. It hurt much, I had to learn to half turn off my brain and it was all a bit painful. I play at 440 now most of the time!
