Tommy Tune and Buddy Ebson
For those of you younger folks, you may not know Buddy Ebson. However if you are a tap dancer or fan of it, you probably do. There's a funny story about that, my six year old granddaughter saw a movie with Buddy Ebson in it and was blown away. She asked me who that fabulous dancer was. I told her, and added, you know, Jed Clampett. She said who?? I said you know, Beverly Hillbillies. She said who?? What??? I finally realized I was a couple of generations too late for her to know what I'm talking about. Buddy was a very tall tap dancer in the 1930's and 40's and was absolutely incredible. He moved like he was on wheels or had a motor running in him. If you aren't familiar with him, check out his old films.
