In The Story of the Trapp Family Singers, Maria von Trapp tells in their early days of touring the US singing she felt something was missing--they weren't quite connecting with their audiences. One night during the show she swallowed a fly and then told the people what had happened. That "broke the ice" and afterwards they felt a greater rapport with the audience.
