This is a photo from the 1960s, of my mother singing on a Boston television program. I don't recall the name of the show, but remember that it aired weekdays on what was then WHDH-TV (Channel 5). If I'm remembering correctly, she sang on the show occasionally, and was guest host for the show, once or twice, when the host was away/ on vacation.I'm struck, in the picture, by the odd "runway" on which she is standing. One can see stairs, behind her, which appear to lead to a main stage. Yet the runway is, obviously, simply a table (and not a particularly wide one), and I wonder if it felt at all precarious walking upon it.
