Perhaps instead of giving you a solo to shut you up, she has instead discovered another voice she can offer solos to, as well as one who will practice with her pointers? (Next year you'll know for sure.) As to remembering who you're singing for, that's also a wonderful way to handle the shakes when doing the solo! (Our church has no choir, and I am the substitute soloist of last choice--owing, I hope, to the fact that I am also a Sunday School teacher, and they prefer not to pull me out of there...)
