And the Winner is...

After being one of maybe 6 people in America who watched the Oscars, I think I'll give out a special award of my own.

Drumroll please...

"J"!

A few weeks back, I told you how J won "*****-er of the Year" at his place of employment. Last week was the deadline to enter the district wide contest. J declined. He said he didn't have time and probably didn't have the credentials to win. Sure he's being modest...very modest.

However, he gets the Save the Day award for something he did over the weekend. Sunday at church during the first service, the choir was singing and all of a sudden, the CD skipped. He looks over at the tech people and says play Track Three. The choir picks right back up, and it skips again. So he grabs his music sheets, counts the choir off, and sits down at the piano and plays it himself to finish the song. Appropriately named..."He's Watching Over Me".

Second service....SAME THING! Same spot...same save the day actions from J.

What's most impressive...since they choir was singing with a track, J doesn't play through the songs on the piano. He only will play parts during rehearsal...to give each section their note(s)...so he was pretty much sight reading his way through. He can't play by ear either, so he wasn't fudging along. I proudly stood and clapped after each song.

It's not easy being a choir director's wife ;-)

Smooches
