Two short clips illustrate time problems on live TV shows. In the first clip, the show is running long and Brenda Lee apparently doesn't know exactly when they will signal her to end the song. Note that there is no orchestra, only a piano player. This was probably done to stop the song quickly. The piano player, however, keeps playing after Brenda stops, indicating he also didn't know where they would end it. Singing a difficult vocal on live national television and waiting for a stop signal didn't seem to bother little Brenda. She nailed every note!
The second clip is Red & Brenda filling time when the show ran short. Brenda throws Red a curveball when she scat sings "scooby-do-bop" and nearly breaks him up!
