Dr Sacks's ass seems to be a highly umm productive site of his research. Certanly when I comes to ppl w disabilities he prefers speculation to like y'know actually talkng with us.
Ramachandran's book mentions that perfect pich is quite common in speakers of tonal languages, which makes sense. He cites one study where 25% of respondents hit the same note when asked to provide a particular word.
