You Know A Great Many Notes

Four words to bring terror to the music lover's heart: Middle School Orchestra Concert.

I have a very acute sense of pitch. Actually our whole family does- one of my kids has perfect pitch, she can sing a note on demand or identify any note she hears. We found out because we had a Casio keyboard with the notes printed on the keys. One day my car alarm went off and my daughter, who was about 5 years old at the time, said "It's making a G sound." Anyway, for people like us, off-key music is literally painful. The concert was mercifully short.
