For Bojangles

As soon as I woke up this morning, I rummaged through the closet, found my old tap shoes, put them on and began tapping up a storm. Why? To celebrate National Tap Dance Day, of course.

Bill "Bojangles" Robinson, the King of Tap, was born on this date -- and National Tap Dance Day was instituted many years ago to honor this wonderful entertainer.

As someone who's spent some of the happiest times of my life practicing, performing and teaching tap routines, I'm delighted to celebrate the great Bojangles and the art of tap.
