Tap dancing seems to be a lost art and this was an outstanding performance, Hugh. I can see why Mr. Bolger was tapped as the Scarecrow in The Wizard of Oz. It reminds me of the Jumping Jive tap dance scene from the movie Stormy Weather featuring the Nicholas Brothers, which Fred Astaire reportedly called "the greatest dance number ever filmed."
