A great save!

A good friend of mine recently lost her mother and is at this moment having a memorial service for her. I was supposed to go but didn't because I came down with a really bad cold or the flu yesterday. However she asked me to burn her a cd of songs for the service and after. I never knew she liked gospel music let alone hip hop style gospel! Who knew? I was playing some Kirk Franklin and Mary Mary when she came over a couple days after she passed, to ask me to burn her some appropriate music. She didn't have any idea what songs nor where to find them aside from the fact that her computer is a relic. Long story short I found about 20 different secular and gospel songs which applied to the situation and burned her a cd. She came by for it two days ago but it wasn't done and she didn't have time to wait, had to pick her kids up from school and then it just slipped her mind until she got home that night. Since I was supposed to be going I told her I would bring it with me. Except that I called this morning to tell her that I was sick and so I wasn't coming. She came by and picked up the cd. She went to play it and it didn't work! So I told her to give me 5 minutes, then I went to Playlist.com created a new account for her and started loading in most of the songs that were on the cd. When I got to #3 I called her and had her log in and it played even with me being on the same account loading the rest of the songs. It could have been a disaster if it were not for the internet, playlist.com, and my extensive musical memory. And it would have stood out in her mind that not only did I not attend but that the cd that I made for her memorial service didn't work so in a way I was still able to attend. I have been sitting here thinking that that was a clutch save! She is one of my only homegirls and though we don't see nearly enough of each other anymore and I liked her mom quite a bit, she was a nice lady so I am both glad and grateful for being able to fix this problem without giving anyone my cold/flu, and using nothing but my brain and the internet.
