Transcription: [00:24:11]
{SPEAKER name="Richie Rich"}
Well to be truthful, I know y'all remember Shirley Temple, Bojangles who taught Shirley Temple, and Fred Astaire.
[00:24:15]

{SPEAKER name="Richie Rich"}
We learned from watching them old fashion back in 1930 T.V. shows.
[00:24:22]

{SPEAKER name="Richie Rich"}
Way back there, we learned from really watching them T.V. shows every Saturdays.
[00:24:27]

{SPEAKER name="Speaker 1"}
practice it all, then try and learn more and more. But Devine, the real tap dancer,
[00:24:35]

{SPEAKER name="Richie Rich"}
Devine showed us the one foot tap, and it's real hard to do because you gotta keep your foot steady, and let it roll.

[00:24:44]

{SPEAKER name="Richie Rich"}
Show 'em one time.
[00:24:49]

{SPEAKER name="Richie Rich"}
[[Tapping]]
Let it be steady.
[[Tapping]]
[00:25:00]

{SPEAKER name="Richie Rich"}
The kind of tap dancing that we got off T.V., I'd like to show you.
[[Tapping]]
[00:25:27]

{SPEAKER name="Richie Rich"}
Now the disco tapping is a little bit different cause it's right along with the disco music.
[00:25:34]

{SPEAKER name="Richie Rich"}
It's called disco tap, and me and my brother would like to show you together.
[[Tapping and applause]]
Thank you very much.
[00:26:07]

{SPEAKER name="Speaker 1"}
[00:26:08]
I think at this point, there are many out there who might have questions for the disco queens and kings on the dance moves or on the whole tradition of dancing in the streets.
[00:26:17]

{SPEAKER name="Speaker 1"}
Are there any questions for them at this point?
[00:26:19]

{SPEAKER name="Richie Rich"}
Hold up before you ask questions, I know y'all probably heard a kazoo before, it only costs 50 cents.
[00:26:25]

{SPEAKER name="Richie Rich"}
We got this about five years ago as we was downtown we bought it out The Gallery. Listen to the sound of it.
[00:26:33]

{SPEAKER name="Richie Rich"}
[[Plays Yankee Doodle on Kazoo]]
[[whistle]]
[00:26:43]

{SPEAKER name="Richie Rich"}
That's called a kazoo. We use this with our rhythm cause it's something good to use instead of all of them horns and stuff.
[00:26:50]

{SPEAKER name="Richie Rich"}
This is something real good to use, instead of buying you a $75 horn, this sound a little better to me then a horn.
