Gavin and I were hanging out in the park eating sno cones and playing in the water when the Ferry boat came down the river. Jokingly I asked him what was the pitch was when the Ferry boat blew the horn........Suprisingly, he gave me an answer. Anyway, we had Fun on the 4th of July in Louisville Kentucky. Gavin was attending a music camp and we were having fun just hanging out together and eating a lot of good food! Thanks for watching!

  • haha! 

  • @sunshinegirl1967 I know what you mean im like a human tuning fork!

  • I guessed it

  • Haha, you relative pitch people drive us crazy asking "what note is that?" all the time. My sister has always bugged me like that. Lol, no but seriously, i feel for your son and all the questions he has to endure from everyone who knows he has perfect pitch.

  • @RegiFilms no no no haha, relative pitch is what nearly everyone in the world has. It's where you can hear musical tones and understand them. Doesn't mean you can know what notes are with any outside sources of help. Your may have heightened pitch. That is where a person could possibly know certain notes or keys but they can't get them all. :)

  • There's also an A in there =P

  • i think i have relitive pitch i can get notes dead on but cords mess me up

  • @dtrainxc I'm kind of glad I can develop perfect relative pitch. Way more useful ;)

  • @sliptwixt I don't think the boat was moving quickly enough for the Doppler Effect to be noticeable

  • Nice talent, wow.

    I wonder though, out of curiosity, about the relative motion of the pitch heard. To what degree do you suppose the

    boat's movement altered the pitch (by way of the Doppler Effect) heard from the listener's position? Someone show me the math on that.... ;)

    Regardless, and again, good job kid!
