2. Call me old fashioned

But Cab Calloway fucking rocked.

4. I tap danced for one of the Nicholas brothers once.

Took beginning tap as a USC extension class and he was in the audience for our final performance. He was verycomplimentary even though we were terrible. Our teacher was a friend of his. This was around 1980.
