Viddy has Talent!

The other week Viddy and I were sitting at church when the person conducting stands up and says that the person who was supposed to do the musical number wasn't there and they might call someone out of the audience to improve. For some reason Viddy gives him an enthusiastic thumbs up. As soon as Viddy did that I turned to him and said, "Are you crazy? Why would you do that? Now he is going to ask us!" Sure enough now three minutes later a note is brought down from the stand asking us if we would be willing to do a duet. The small amount of singing that I do is limited to the shower, the car, and the little boy I nanny. I don't really like performing in public, although it has been done before, and there is no way that I could do it without any practice.
So Viddy and I discuss what we should do. I don't have my flute with me, and there isn't time to run home and get it. We can't really pull off a duet on the piano without running through it at least once. So Viddy returns the note and says that he will do it. After much debate about which song to do, he finally settles on Lord, I would Follow Thee. Viddy walks to the piano with nothing in hand, opens the hymnal that is at the piano to the page and then proceeds to play an amazing piece which unless you had been there and witnessed the whole thing, you would never believe he had no time to practice and was just looking at the music in the hymnal. After he was done (even I was impressed and I know what Viddy is capable of) the girl next to me turned and said "I have no idea where he was able to pull that from."
Moral of the story is, don't give your bishop a thumbs up when he announces that the person doing the musical number is not there. And I have an incredibly talented husband!
