When Did You Give Up the Dream?

I was one of six kids. And I would think, oh my god, I want to be like a showman. So I asked my parents, again, all my ideas about show business were incredibly out of time and incorrect because it's the 70s. They found me this really old, wonderful man who taught tap dancing near the Berkeley School of Music in Boston named Stanley Brown,. He had learned from Bill Bojangles Robinson.
