... 
But yeah, I also have some of those "what the heck am I doing" moments...
 ...
 

 
The best ever on these moments was with Andres Segovia in Madison. He was doing a piece, and broke a string and never wavered, shook, or anything else ... he continued ... and at the end, he goes "so sorry about that ... did it sound alright?" ... and promptly got a standing ovation!
 
It is, one of the hard things that you try to teach an actor when rehearsing and working on something. Those moments can break the concentration, and the trick is not to break the concentration at all.
 
Think about your performances with an instrument ... !!! You have to stay focused ... and if you have "doubts", then you should not be there! That is usually, the difference between a winner and the rest!

My dad told me that when he went to see Segovia play, the old guy came on stage, sat down with his guitar, farted loudly and walked off stage to recompose himself before coming back on and starting his set.

Flatulence can be an issue ... and sometimes not fun. We have to discuss that with Nik Turner and his Hawkwind friends ... for that is where the name of the band came from!

He should have stayed out there and played Classical Gas just for fun.

I renamed the John the gym. That way I can tell people that the first thing I do when I get up is go to the gym.

You gotta do more than one squat to call it a workout.

When you get older it's always more than one...
