No, no sir. Can you hear his voice? If you can hear the voice but you can’t see it, the voice will do it. The voice is enough to impregnate you. Or if you know his hand, the feel of his hand, and you can’t see or hear but you can feel, well then, feel his hand in yours congratulating you. Use any sense that is the easiest to use. Some people because of their profession the sense of touch is easier than the sense of sound. If you’re dealing with music and you have a good pitch, it wouldn’t be difficult to hear anyone’s voice if you once heard it. I have friends of mine who can go to a piano, put them in another room, hit not only a single note, any note on the piano, and they’ll instantly…you don’t have to wait…they’re on the [...]. As though I said I’m going to speak now and you tell me what letter of the alphabet I am sounding and I say a “b.” Well, they don’t have to wait, they’ll reply “b.” I say “z”…well, it is just as keen to a good ear, the notes on a piano, as my alphabet is to one who understands the alphabet. I have done it. A friend of mine in New York City she played at the Music Hall, and I would test her. I would hit a chord, any chord, and she would instantly call it. I could hit a discord and she’d call it. Now they say that Toscanini had that pitch. I know [...] had that pitch. So even the slightest little off, he could stop the instrument and tell the man that whatever he was playing “You are not giving me what I want.” He had perfect pitch. Not very many have that pitch. But you don’t have to have that kind of a pitch to hear a friend’s voice. If you listen carefully and listen as though you heard him and then put on his tone what you want him to say. Just put on that tone what you want to hear…and don’t tell him what you did. That’s casting your bread upon the waters. Well, until Monday. Good night.53 ¶46
