Absolute Pitch Anyone?

Happy Independence Day!  Today Jason and I went to Joe's Crab Shack:



Among other things, they have good lobster!


We went to Joe's Crab Shack as a reward for him beating a challenge I set for him.  We've known for a while now that he has a good musical ear, but I wanted to find out how good it was. So I challenged him.  The challenge was simple: tune his guitar by ear, after I de-tuned it.  The process would take place as follows: he would tune his guitar with a tuner.  I would de-tune it.  He would then tune it by ear, and I would then check it with the guitar tuner.   He was able to do it!  Here's a video:


I've always been impressed by these kinds of abilities in people...at least impressed enough to pay for lunch at Joe's Crab Shack!
