This is a constant (unserious) disagreement at our house.  He says heard,
while I contend that I can hear a piece over the radio or CD player.  If
I was there, I say I saw the XYZ Philharmonic.  As my hearing is pretty
good, I contend that if I saw it I also heard it, as I don't talk my way
through a concert.
