Program Notes: Upcoming on "Body and Soul"

Jane Goldberg--tap dancer and journalist--discusses her new book, Shoot Me While I'm Happy: Memories from The Tap Goddess of the Lower East Side.  This engaging and enjoyable memoir--including a wealth of photos and unforgettable profiles of master performers such as Honi Coles, Charles "Cookie" Cook, Bunny Briggs, Leon Collins, Buster Brown, Sammy Davis, Jr., Ginger Rogers, Mable Lee, Gregory Hines and Savion Glover--will appeal to many readers: tap fans, students, performers, dance journalists and scholars who are interested in the human stories and provocative issues behind the history of this great American art form.
 
Click here for my commentary on Shoot Me While I'm Happy, and here for a complete bio of Jane Goldberg.

Buy the book through Goldberg's Web site for this exclusive offer--a bonus DVD of By Word of Foot: Tap Masters Pass On Their Tradition (1980) and excerpts from Rhythm & Schmooze.
