It's another evening of performances by relatives of celebrities.

Mr. X sings and plays guitar for “La Bamba”: “My father is Art Carney”                 
Brian Carney played a college circuit of coffee shops for ten years, but his music career never took off.  He would find more success as an actor, primarily in commercials.  He most recognized role would probably be as the corporate CEO in a series of GEIKO commercials from 2008 to 2011 opposite their popular spokeslizard.   

A rock quartet known as The Live Wires performs their instrumental arrangement of the folk song “900 Miles.”  One of their members is Mr. X: “My father is Durward Kirby” 
Dennis Kirby and his bandmates Tony Caruso, Richard Iannuzzi and Joey Kennedy would record one single for Boom in July (“The Mask” b/w “Keep it to Yourself”), but broke up soon after.  Kennedy would continue to perform professionally throughout his life.  His Joey Kennedy Band has played at various South Florida locations for decades.   

Mr X: “My father is Frank Fontaine” 
Bobby Fontaine fancies himself a comic impressionist and answers the panel’s questions as various characters in his act.  His broad portrayal of such stars as Ed Sullivan, Peter Lorre and Red Skelton gets laughs, but makes his father’s “Crazy Guggenheim” character look like a model of restraint.  Bobby would find work in nightclubs for a few years before retiring his act.   

Mr X: “My father is Steve Allen” 
David Allen performs on the piano with his father, but says he has no interest in a show business career.
