The show starts with a bit of a flip flop. Jack opens, and introduces Don wilson as the star of the show. what’s the story behind that? Did Jack lose a bet? It’s actually in tribute to playing the show in Don’s home town. Don gets teased about his childhood, when Mary enters to change the topic about her fashion statement. Hey, a skirt made of parachute fabric. If only they made pants like that I’ll bet they would really sell well. Maybe one of these days…
Mary reads a quick poem before Jack talks about the great receptions they’ve recieved through their cross country tour of military bases. Frank Nelson claims to be a sculptor who wants to make a statue of Jack. Larry Stevens sings, Let Me Love You Tonight. The sculpting jokes keep up as Phil enters. As is typical for doing remote shows, the topical scenes, nightlife, and other points of interest are the objects of jokes. Phil plays, Every Time I Fall In Love.
Mary gets a flashback sequence started, and we find Rochester in the hotel room with a few domestic troubles to deal with. Jack is still sleeping, but gets up and ready for a rehearsal. Jack tries out a popular song of the day, Accentuate the Positive. Rochester actually gets the chance to sing in the episode to show Jack how it goes. Rochester’s scratchy singing style, Jack’s scratchy violin playing. Somehow it works out pretty well.
