"Oh, no, you don't," Nikki said, trying to hand the microphone back to a retreating Elise. Elise just grinned and stepped quickly out of range, taking refuge behind the piano.

"I am not singing again," Nikki stated flatly. "I've done my turn." And she had earlier, singing a pop number made famous by Cass Carnaby and his band. She gave Elise a glare, then her eyes drifted over to Virgil and a soft, sly smile crossed her face. "I've just realized; the birthday boy hasn't done his bit this evening." Turning to the rest of the room, she asked, "Well? Who else wants to hear Virgil play and sing?"

There was a general round of laughter and clapping, and Gordon shouted, "Play, but not sing!" Alan and Scott both added, "Hear, hear!" to that comment and the laughter rolled around again.

"All right, all right!" Virgil put up his hands. "I get the message!" He put out his hand and took the microphone from Nikki, turning it off. "We won't need this." Glancing around, he spied Maggie. "Aunt Maggie, you're a special guest tonight. What would you like to hear? I can't guarantee that I know it, but tell me, and I'll try."

Maggie had sat up in delight. "Me? I get to choose?" Her face turned thoughtful. "Hmm. Let me see. Something to give you a real workout." Her expression brightened. "I know! Linus and Lucy by Vince Guaraldi."

"Oooh, that is a tricky one," Virgil said. He locked his fingers together and stretched his arms, the palms of his hands outward. He ran a quick scale while people quieted, then began to play.

Unlike most pieces, the melody was a chord on the middle to upper ranges of the keyboard, while a rhythmic fingering in the lower keys kept a steady beat. At one point, the lower notes all but disappeared as his fingers danced over the high notes in what sounded like a jazz improvisation. Finally the bass rhythm returned, and the piece continued until it quieted down to a single low note.

The room erupted into applause, and cries of "Bravo!" Virgil stood, took a bow, and Gordon moved over to take up the microphone, and went to the sound system.

"Now, in honor of all the lovely ladies tonight, a very special number."
