I never had the lung power for the really high squeals, it always felt like my head was going to cave in. Luckily, I had a decent ear. Perfect pitch never extended beyond recognizing E (thanks to my guitar playing) and C, but my relative pitch was something I was proud of. So my way of showing off would be to figure out songs nobody else knew, like the University of Oklahoma fight song (I was born in Norman, so OU is actually home team for me, unlike most their fans who only like them for their history as a college football powerhouse.... Fair weather fans.) My other trick was to play the trumpet and piano (chords only) at the same time. Rumours was huge. I was just a kid when it dropped, but if I were going to pick three albums that captured the 70's, they would be Rumours, Hotel California and the soundtrack to Saturday Night Fever.
