Two I can think of offhand had similar story lines: Lucy and Ethel,
along with their fellow club members, need to play a musical piece for
one of their shows. They're ALL horrible! (The first of these two
episodes takes place while they're still in the apartment; the second is
after the move to the country.) Ricky, of course, comes to the rescue,
first volunteering to coach them and, in the earlier episode, saves the
day by making his band members--all male--dress in drag to play the
instruments so the 'girls' don't have to. (This is the episode where
the girls butcher "Twelfth Street Rag.")
