What’s the quietest thing you’ve ever had to cue?
Last week, I held a silence so long between two cues that the stage manager actually blinked at me like I’d disappeared. Not a sound, not even the hum of the grid—just breath. I didn’t know it was a cue until it wasn’t. Now I keep wondering: what’s the smallest moment you’ve ever had to hold for someone else? And did they even notice?

Last winter, I tuned a church organ in a village where the wind had taken the roof off one side. The pipes were all exposed, and for three days I worked in silence, adjusting each rank by ear while the cold seeped through my gloves. Not a single note was played—just me listening to what the air carried between the pipes. They didn’t notice. But I did.
