I got going on piano lessons. Actually, our very first piano came from a yard sale and when we got someone to tune it, I guess it wasn't structurally sound enough to be put in like regular pitch. So it was, the whole thing was down a semitone. So C was B, E was E flat, et cetera. And I could not play it, because even at like age six, I kind of knew what the notes should sound like. If you play middle C, it should sound like middle C. It shouldn't sound like B. And I couldn't play it. I'd hit a note or a chord or something and just I couldn't continue. My brain would just freeze up. It couldn't process that. So anyway, I remember arguing with the guy who tuned it and he was insisting, no, no, it's in tune. Well, I mean, it was in tune.
