Aaron Rosand from Chicago with a violin, Fred Klein from New York City with a French horn, James Maxwell from Tracy, California with bagpipes, John Peper from New York City with a clarinet, and Jean-Jacques Perrey from Paris: "I play one instrument that can sound like all of these" 
Perrey had essentially the same secret when he appeared in 1960 ( E390 ).  He demonstrates his Ondioline, an early synthesizer, and is later joined by partner Gershon Kingsley to perform a selection from their debut album The In Sound from Way Out! (Vanguard 1966).  Despite their importance in the world of electronic music, the partnership of Perrey and Kingsley was relatively brief.  They worked together from 1965 until 1967 and would produce only two original albums.   

Kenneth J Gray from West Frankfort, Illinois is an auctioneer, a pilot and a magician, and also: “I’m a United States Congressman”   
Gray would represent Illinois in Congress from 1955 to 1974, and again from 1985 to 1989.  The colorful public servant was known as the “Prince of Pork” for his ability to secure federal funding for projects in his home district.  He also would perform magic tricks while making his point on the House floor, and in a world of dull fashion, he stood out from his colleagues with colorful suits, fanciful bow ties and dyed hair.  While in Washington, Gray maintained a houseboat he named Roll Call.   

Special guest Rossano Brazzi provides the panel with Italian idioms literally translated into English, and the panel must figure out the equivalent English saying.  For example, the Italian phrase which means “It’s a pasta of sugar” is equivalent to the English phrase, “It’s as easy as pie.” Brazzi is a popular Italian leading man whose American movies include South Pacific (1958) and The Barefoot Contessa (1954).  He can be seen in The Christmas That Almost Wasn’t (1966) a film he also directed.
