| Ray,
You are talking about the " Sonny and Cher Show " correct and not the Merv Griffin show were Ray Triscari augmented the usual 2 man section of Bill Berry and Jack Sheldon. I have photo's of John Audino in a " Neru " outfit as he was comming out of the taping. Big gold chain and all.
I believe Ray Triscari ( your uncle ) also made the trips to Las Vegas when the show used to do a week from LV as little " getaway " from Hollywood and the music was somewhat harder due to the caliber of the musical guests on the shows o the talents of a "Ray Triscari " would be needed to give the usual section some more " bravura " - remember , this was the late 70's when Las Vegas was booming.
