I am looking to create a kind of a database of links to Usenet and other similar posts. Every month or so someone gets on some newsgroup and there is a thread that looks like this (in essence)
PERSON A: "What about this Burge guy and his perfect pitch course? Has anyone actually succeeded with it?"
PERSON B: "Well, I had this sister who had a teacher who had a penpal who’s father had an imaginary friend…"
PERSON C: "Yeah, I worked on it for a while. I really think it would have worked, but I just didn’t have time and…"
PERSON D: "Yeah? Well, that don’t prove nuthin’. I say you have to be born with it. I just feeeeeeeeeel that I’m right."
PERSON E: "Why would you want perfect pitch, anyway? I knew this guy once who had it and he couldn’t stand it when [insert some normal musical event here]."
But it is rare that someone just comes out and says, "Yes, me. I did it. I have absolute pitch now, but I didn’t when I was 20," or whatever. So what I would like to do is create a database of just such posts. They are rare, but I haven’t even sifted through 1% of the stuff out there on Usenet about Burge, let alone on absolute pitch in general. I call it the absolute pitch inspiration file. It’s what I wish had been out there for me a few months ago. Anyway, anyone want to help? It’s small so far, but here it is:
