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.

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 'For WW2 buffs!'

Four years ago, the youtube channel The Great War started producing weekly videos detailing the events of World War 1, as they happened, week by week, one-hundred years ago. Since then they've released hundreds of videos, including many about the weapons, equipment, tactics, and important persons in addition to the weekly release. I've watched nearly all of their videos and I enjoyed them greatly. There is so much about the war that I either misunderstood or had never heard of at all, and I...
