I will offer a thought after watching this thread. I have been told I have perfect pitch. Personally I do not think I do. I am often able to know what note is being played. On the them of color, I have always seen music in color. I can not describe it to anyone, I simply see colors. they are always the same for a given note. Frequently various shades in different keys. My wife and I were talking about this the other day. She is blind. She told me that many people who have never seen describe and percieve color by feel; but the things they associate with something they know is a given color. Seems possible that some relate musical note in a similar way. I am not explaining myself very well......................think I will stick to pianos! *smile* Terry Jack > Hearing in colors?
