Yes, I do believe I can carry a tune pretty good. I have perfect pitch as well. Before my mom became a piano teacher she use to sing in a country band that was offered a contract (she had to decline) but she went into music as a piano teacher and I think I carry some of her ability towards music.
Now, do I sing? Only in front of my younger kids once in awhile when playing around. Or alone in the van. I don't even want to sing in Church. lol Not me. Nope, No way.

The only way I can carry a tune would be if I carried a CD to my car or something. LOL
My son has perfect pitch too like Patti. He absolutely hates it when someone sings off key! He won't even watch shows like American Idol and if I try to sing, he says "Mom, please stop...You're hurting my ears!" He won lots of awards during his school years at state contests for singing and playing piano too. I think he inherited it from my grandmother as she also had perfect pitch and could play any instrument. That ability skipped right over me though. When I was in middle school, we had to sing at our 8th grade graduation ceremony and I sounded so horrible that the music teacher told me to "just mouth the words" and pretend I was singing. I like to think that I'm gifted in other areas so I'm fine with it. LOL However, after years of listening to my son sing, I can tell when someone is singing off key.

Actually, I can carry a tune, but am not a good singer. My wife, on the other hand, has a beautiful voice. No, she'd not make it on American Idol (she doesn't have that kind of personality, thank God), but if she worked on her voice just a little, she could certainly give them a run for their money.
We got Misty's kids a karaoke typ video game for Christmas.. what a mistake that was Neither of the girls (or Misty) could carry a tune at all.. it was hilarious!
