 Re: Had a bug on my arm during the Offertory yesterday; what do the pros do?

Playing Bach's Magnificat some years ago, during the soprano/d'Amore duet I managed to suck in a fly during a breath. Luckily I didn't inhale him, but during the next phrase he was struggling around, wet, inside my mouth. My major concern for the next few moments was keeping him out of my reed. At the next phrase break I did a WHOOOF and blew him onto the page but still managed to get enough air to continue. My nearby colleagues noticed but I heard no comments from anyone else.

The sublime beauty of that aria was missing for me that night, though...
