Just wait til dementia hits...this doesnt surprise me. having been a musician and sound guy, i find sound engineers have incredible ears. some can listen to a mix of music and know exactly what frequencies need to be adjusted. (those old enough to remember "Risky Business" will remember Tom Cruise pushing all the faders up on his dads stereo.,, thats not how that thing is supposed to be used ...)
guys i know will hear ever flat/ sharp note in a vocal, every waver, every strained note.
the problem i have is not hearing the difference, its being able to make the sound myself. my wife is Thai and i can hear stuff but my brain turns off when i try to imitate it. same with my 7 yo son to a point, he understands her perfectly well but when asked to speak Thai he has problems. (when he goes back to Thai land it takes him a few weeks to regain the ability)
weird the way the brain works.
Nope not foolish. It was the first musician since John Lennon that their death hit me like a brick wall. I had just seen him with Jeff Beck not long before.
Good luck!
But I just got up!
My wife was a slow adopter, but now likes her smartphone for the few things she uses it for (phoning being the least of them). She doesn't like touchscreen keyboards, though, so she has stuck with her (now) old model with a slide-out keyboard. Nobody seems to make those anymore, so when we replace it, I have to find a case with a keyboard.
Mine does a lot of things, including Martial Talk.
