I was in Malad, Idaho, working with my brothers, the Osman Second Generation, and we were asked last minute, hey, would you guys sing the National Anthem? And my brother's like, Nathan, you go out, you sing it. I said, why don't we just do our version of it? He says, no, we'll ruin our big entrance. I'm like, our big intro? Come on, we're in Malad, Idaho. And he said, they pushed me out there. No prep, no practice. The sun is beaming in my face. I'm expected to sing the National Anthem, which is one of the hardest songs out there, an octave and a half. And halfway through the anthem, this old man holding a flag drops the flag. A lot of distractions. Anyway, I messed up on the anthem. It fit all phonetically, but I knew something wasn't quite right. Anyways, right in the middle of the show, my brother Doug goes, hey, way to botch the anthem tonight. And everybody laughed. I was like, oh my gosh, I can't believe it. But just this last week, I performed to over 3,000 people on that same stage. So failure is not final.
