On: 'When I tried to play, my hand spasmed and shook':...

Made me think of touch typing. I can touch type at a decent speed (~100 wpm). However, if I let myself think about where the various letters are on the keyboard, I stumble and start having trouble typing. I need to clear my mind to start touch typing again.

Same for me, but where it really falls apart is if someone is watching me type.
