Adjustment for misadventures of an expected musician's performance

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around notable instances where musicians had to improvise due to unexpected circumstances. A specific example is a Johnny Carson show where a pianist named Gutierrez could not perform due to a finger injury. This situation parallels a fictional story called "Boogie Boy," where a band leader sought a drummer from the audience after their drummer became incapacitated. Additionally, there is a real-life incident involving Keith Moon, the drummer of The Who, who collapsed on stage. The band successfully called for a drummer from the audience, who performed well, with a recording of the event available on YouTube. A related article detailing this incident can be found on Far Out Magazine's website.

I am just watching an interesting video of a Johny Carson show. A pianist someone "Gutierres", not certain the spelling, was expected to appear as a guest but had a mechanical accident with his finger and was unable to show on the production. This also reminds me of a fictional story "Boogie Boy", in which a band's drummer became nonfunctional and the band leader asked attending audience if anyone know how to play drums and could save the show. AND a bold soul did respond affirmatively and very functionally.

I give here a hyperlink to the Johny Carson section:

Thread 'Songs that pay homage to deceased artists, no covers'

There is a neighboring thread Cover songs versus the original track, which ones are better? https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/cover-songs-versus-the-original-track-which-ones-are-better.1050205/ which is an endless subject and as colorful are the posts there. I came across a Buddy Holly cover by Eva Cassidy only to find out that the Buddy Holly song was already a Paul Anka cover. Anyway, both artists who had covered the song have passed far too early in their lives. That gave me the...

Thread 'Why is the plural for moose not meese?'

The piece came-up from the "Lame Jokes" section of the forum. Someobody carried a step from one of the posts and I became curious and tried a brief web search. A web page gives some justification of sorts why we can use goose(s)-geese(p), but not moose(s)-meese(p). Look for the part of the page headed with "Why isn't "meese" the correct plural?" https://languagetool.org/insights/post/plural-of-moose/
