Part of the documentation of the week-long tap dancing workshop By word of foot I, presented by the Changing Times Tap Dancing Company on October 13-18, 1980. Continuing the 2:30PM session that began on *MGZIC 9-5734, Leslie "Bubba" Gaines introduces Ram Ramirez, a jazz pianist and composer, who reminisces about the tap dancers for whom he played. Gaines discusses the Copasetics' concert and video Great feats of feet (1977), which he considers an impetus to the current revival of interest in tap dancing. Dr. Cole (?), the dancing dentist, then performs a solo, and the tape ends with candid footage of informal dancing by the participants.
