    My grandpa would have loved this! He was in the Navy, then ran his own radio station and had a million records. He used to take me to big band dances and even in his eighties could out dance pretty much anyone there. Thank you for this tribute to veterans!

      Chris is so talented. I have subbed to him and Clay. Broadway people amaze me with the way they can sing and dance.

  • @Harrybrux
    @Harrybrux Před 8 lety +25

    Fabulous. By the way - to Sam Chisnall and Beth F - I didn't start tap dancing until I was 70; yes, that's not a misprint, 70-years old. I'm 75 now and getting better every year. I've made videos of three of my routines but I'm too shy to show them so, you'll just have to take my word for it. I enjoy it hugely but, there;'s no doubt, it IS demanding. HB

    I want to thank you and the Broadway stars that help you make these videos. My daughter loves music and dance, she won't watch children's programming. She adores your videos that I have in a playlist with some clips of a couple of tap routines from the golden age. I think you have started a two year old on the early road to tap and the stage. You are fantastic and all of you are a joy to watch!

      I live this video and I've always loved this song by the Andrews Sisters. My only criticism is that the talented ladies should be in period clothing also. But that's just me. Loved it and you are all incredible tappers !!
