Podium Speak weighs in with another entertaining crash-and-burn story:
Somehow, in the first two bars, my extremely well loved fill-in organist skipped a beat. The result was a wonderful combination of Healey Willan and Stockhausen. At least for the first sixteen bars.
A lot goes through your mind in situations like this. "Should we stop and start over?" "If we keep going, will anyone actually notice?". I chose the latter.
After it was all over - all 60 seconds of it, I leaned to the first alto and said "... or some reasonable facsimile thereof ...", and looked at my wife who mouthed the word "OOOOPS!"
