{"product_id":"9781896238074","title":"Dancing on Air: My Life with Rai Purdy","description":"It's hard to imagine life without television. It's even harder to remember that the television programming we take for granted was in its infancy a mere fifty years ago. No colour. No videotapes. Just black and white live programs, the work of a small handful of imaginative producers, directors, editors and actors who created shows by adapting radio and stage techniques. Dancing On Air tells the story of one of these pioneers, a Canadian, Horatio \"Rai\" Purdy who came to television via a stage and radio career. Written by Rai Purdy's widow, this is the third of her memoirs.\u003cp\u003e\"I only hope I can write half as well as you when I am in my 80s. Well done and congratulations!\" Paul Wild, Comox Valley Record.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"The book is a fascinating story of an artist on the cutting edge of television ... and the woman who supported him.\" Jan DeGrass, Coast Reporter.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Twin Eagles Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47059593199856,"sku":"9781896238074","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781896238074_p0.jpg?v=1763610410","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781896238074","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
