A special request was made to the branch president that I sing. So, Justin and I made plans to sing. We figured out it would sound good, and interesting with just the two of us and me not playing the piano.
Then I lost my voice.
Saturday night I googled in hopes of finding an interesting piano arrangement so Justin could sing, and it would be more than me just playing the hymn. I found this. We practiced Saturday night. Sunday morning. I skipped sunday school to practice some more (oops). But, it ended up sounding very good.
I never could have done that two years ago.
So, I am grateful for other talented people. Tara, who is a wonderful piano teacher who got me to the point where I could decided the night before to play something, use a metronome and then play it pretty good the next day. Steven Smith who has a very nice arrangement for free... I'm going to print off his other ones and try them too. And Justin, who despite knowing that I want me to be the best singer in the family, has a very good voice and is confident enough to sing alone.
We got an ovation...in sacrament meeting.
I've determined that I am going to tell the accompanist that I enjoyed the musical number from now on.
