So ... whatever happened with Linda?
Oh,
I'll have to backtrack . . .
Flashback to my senior
year of high school. I was nearly 18. In these three-and-a-half
years with Perfect Pitch, my piano teacher insisted
I had made ten years of progress. And I had. But my
youthful ambition still wasn't satisfied. I needed
one more thing: to beat Linda. Now was my final chance.
The University
of Delaware hosts a performing music festival each
spring, complete with judges and awards. To my horror,
they scheduled me that year as the grand finale
of the event.
The fated day arrived.
Linda gave her usual sterling performance. She would
be tough to match, let alone surpass. But my turn
finally came, and I went for it.
Slinking to the stage,
I sat down and played my heart out with selections
from Beethoven and Chopin, and the Toccata by Ravel. The applause was
overwhelming.
Afterwards, I scoured
the bulletin board, searching for our grades in the
most advanced performance category.
I saw that Linda received an A,
which came as no surprise.
Then I saw that I had scored an A+.
Sweet victory was
music to my ears, mine at last!
Now
its YOUR turn
. . .
Now
I'd like to show YOU
how to experience Perfect Pitch for YOURSELF
. . .
Best
wishes,
