"John Gary's stabs at humor were imitations of Walter Brennan, Gregory Peck, Humphery Bogart - all effective,  but not half as funny as those of his Guitarist-Conductor,  Jim Stewart.  Stewart laid aside his Wes Montgomery -like electric guitar style for a classical guitar for his back-up to Gary's Castilian Flamenco Ballad - the show's genuine "high point". Stewart's elaborate stylings on the Flamenco even outshone Gary's theatrics. The word passed through the audience; "That guy can really make that thing talk."
