In the Spring of 1968, Jim designed one of Andy Williams Specials "Kaleidoscope and Company" (air date 4-28-1968) with guests Simon and Garfunkel, Ray Charles, Cass Elliot, and Burt Bacharach with an orchestra background set. The idea for the specials' title was Jim's concept for Andy William's solo opening. Andy walking in a mirrored Kaleidoscope singing his favorite medleys. Each segment was transformed into a different kaleidoscope image. The first set was a 8' x 8' mirrored square box. The second set was a 10' x 10' mirrored triangle. The third set was another 8' x 8' mirrored box with a mirrored back wall and a double reflective front mirror. The preceding set units were open in the front and back. This last box was a real kaleidoscope reflection. The camera lens shot through (reduced in scale and size) mirrored camera port box/triangular units reflecting Andy's full figure pose with no head shot inserts. The show opening and closing graphics imitated the kaleidoscope images. Cass Malloy performed on a super-sized 6' high x 24' diameter drum, matching her flamboyant full figure's floral psychedelic print gown. Burt Bacharach, seated at a black concert grand piano, with a full orchestra behind him. His set was a circular silver mirror framed portal in white with black detailed trim. Visually, the sets were spectacularly stunning.
