OH was page-turner on 'Jerusalem'. We'd practised and practised. He had to grasp the corner of the page on 'Bring me my Bow' and turn it on 'burning'.
In the event - he bottled it (the church was full, spilling out over 140 people) I was playing the entr'-act and no hand appeared , panic set in. He just stood there - at the very last moment I reached for the paper - only just beating him as he woke up and fumbled towards the book! Fortunately I kept the R-hand tune going for a couple of bars and got back on track with few noticing, Phew!
But under pressure - all sorts of things can get forgotten. :)
