Does anyone recall a young man from the audience who was unexpectedly called down to the stage, to play piano? A guest didn't show, he was asked to fill the time. The young man looked like a surf bum, in shorts & foam flip-flops, but played beautifully. A family member really wants to know. (mid '80s)
shareHe is still around. There was a video of him on youtube's home page a few years ago playing the piano including the clip from the Carson show.
shareI don't recall his name but I'm sure a youtube or google search could locate him.
shareHe seems to be fairly famous. He was a guest at the White House and is probably pretty rich because of that appearance. He did an AMA on reddit and replies to most of the comments on his videos on youtube. Seems like an awesome guy actually.
Comment on his video here and he will probably reply:
