Several decades (!) ago, when I was a kid, I tried this to see if I could
get a "cheap" PP. (What can I say, I was lazy!)

I wouldn't have passed some of the strict tests. My "lowest pitch" varied daily
by at least 1/2 note. I never tried any "drill" method to learn PP, since
I couldn't see any real benefit, other than to impress myself or others.

I still think its a facinating subject which evokes alot of interesting
theories and experiences!
