Fluffing my lines when I was singing in a private function for the NSW Premier. After a number of failed attempts to get it right, I threw my hands out and commanded the Premier, The First Lady of State and his guests sit down and enjoy their meal. Later I was invited to return to the private dining room to continue singing, where I was told my nerves were a reflection of how others were feeling, making my performance (or lack of) all the more endearing.
