Derek,
I've seen Savion Glover dance once and I do recall he is a really terrific tapper. I'll show my daughter him as well. Thanks for the tip.
I never knew of the Dick Lundy connection.

When I shared your info about Gregory Hines to my friend, he exclaimed "Amazing!" and then he remembered that he had once met Hines at a Toronto Blue Jays game and had him sign the ball for him.
Thanks again for your help!
