    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!

    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!

    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
