... Paul Harvey's advice to 'keep your trousers up' when playing. He
told the story of how he forgot his belt (or was it braces?) one day
when he had to play a concert, and found that his performance was
improved as a side effect of his effort to make his abdomen as large as
possible.

Perversely this must explain the deterioration in my breath control
recently. As my girth seems to grow with the years I find myself doing
the opposite, particularly in the company of young ladies (sigh!).

... and I'm not entirely joking.
