Reminds me of the announcement that the accountants on bass and drums would on the gig about to start have not a fellow accountant but a lawyer on piano.  A good enough player, though not quite Dick Wellstride (who also had a law degree).  
There is the tale current among first-aid persons and medical auxiliaries about the jazz band of senior hospital doctors and surgeons who realised that someone in the front row had collapsed looking very ill. 
The music stopped and they all yelled together, "Nurse!"
