Title: Fellow Canadian here!
Post by: DrJoeHankin on April 14, 2017, 10:05:49 PM
A couple days shy, but here I am.

I've been writing my own music since age 11, I'm now 17. My cousin used to come over every Sunday for a jam session. Now he only comes twice a month. June 26 will mark 1.5 years of jamming together. Couldn't ask for a better teacher. He's quite intriguing to say the least. He has a home studio that we share when I visit.

I was born with this excellent gift called Absolute Pitch that I only discovered around a year ago. Only 1% of the whole world has it. I'm so honoured and greatful that I out of all people have this wonderful gift.

I'm pretty tall too, so my voice carries through a crowd and never goes unnoticed. Especially because I do the announcements every morning at my school.

Overall, I'm proud of where I am today. Let's see where another few years takes me.

Welcome Dr,

Perfect pitch eh? I'm sure this will come in useful when commenting on people's work. I am imagining it can be a bit of a curse at times as well as a gift though.

Look forward to hearing from you.

Yo fella,welcome along.

17 years old with perfect pitch and already a doctor? Being from Cannuckistan is admittedly a drawback,but hey we all have our crosses to bear.  ;)

I'll confess to owning T-shirts older than you but that's what happens when you don't die young,though god almighty,I did try!  :D

Welcome aboard David -
I knew a girl once who was a perfect b!tch  ;D but I don't think that's the same thing.

The more canucks the better I'd say (despite what the skubber will tell you  ;D)

Looking 4ward to hearing your stuff.

Go Canada!
