I come pretty close, but not perfect. :)

Yes - not bad.

When I was in a choir, the master used to ask me to give the key in which we were supposed to be singing.

Not at all. I probably have the farthest thing from it (and still be able to hear). I don't know how I can play the French horn because the partials are so close together that you have to be able to hear the pitch in your head before you play it, but I'm no good at telling one pitch form another. My brother has relative pitch, though (he plays trombone). That's when you can notify one pitch and be able to use that pitch to figure out what notes the other pitches are. =D

I come close but i'm not perfect. It's a gift and a curse.

i am so off key i hurt my own ears!!!

nope, im tone def

I can remember pitches from songs I have sung years ago perfectly. In context , yes. But, if someone is singing off key and it is not in relation to any other instrument, I can't tell. Which is good. Because I teach choir and choirs notoriously go out of tune when acappella.

no, sure dont

I wish I had perfect pitch. I'm not completely tone deaf, but I don't have perfect pitch either.
