Special guests: Peter, Paul and Mary.
Peter, Paul and Mary sing “Blowin’ in the Wind.” To show that a folk song can be written from any bit of folklore, they perform “Waukegan”, a song they wrote based around Jack’s age, cheapness, and other faults.
Jack invites the group to his home and tries to talk them into recording the dreadful tune he wrote, “When You Say ‘I Beg Your Pardon’, Then I’ll Come Back to You.” When his accompanist Ned (Ben Lessy) arrives, he has PP&M sing his composition. As with every previous performer, they want nothing to do with the crummy song. Ned tells Jack it would have been a hit if they’d recorded it. Jack says not to worry; he had a tape recorder hidden in the piano.
