Some interesting suggestions and observations.
Wrong notes or chords are easily forgiven and forgotten, wrong or bad
time is not. It is the "unforgivable sin" of music.
A long time ago, whenever I had some presentation or public speaking to
do, I would obsess afterwards about all the "goof ups" of one kind or
another: errors, omissions, saying stupid things etc.
But one thing quickly became very obvious to me.
Nobody remembers them. Nobody really cares!
You remember because you've obsessed about it. But ask an audience member
afterwards and many won't recall the incident(s). Most audiences hear a
flub here or there (whether public speaking or musical performance) and
they might raise an eye browe if they notice. But guaranteed, unless the
whole performance sucked, nobody really cares.
The only time they're going to care if is when they pay some rediculous
ticket price to see you.
But I've also seen cases where the person who mucked up made a big fuss
about it. Those events tend to be remembered! So if you muff it up, just
keep moving along as if it is "business as usual".
Snark.
