Subject: Will Gains 'Hoofer' - RIP / Obit From: GUEST,Chris B Date: 10 May 14 - 10:24 AM Will Gaines - obituary Will Gaines was a 'hoofer' whose shuffling tap-and-tales won over Harlem (NYC) and Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club in Soho (London) http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/obituaries/10817338/Will-Gaines-obituary.html Its a shame that no-one in the London clog dance scene ever filmed or interviewed him. But I believe that he was in the 'Fascinating Rhythm - The Story of Tap' docu. from BBC 4 some year's back. Chris B. |

Subject: RE: Will Gains 'Hoofer' - RIP / Obit From: GUEST Date: 10 May 14 - 06:43 PM I saw Will Gaines dance with the free improv guitarist Derek Bailey sometime in the late 1990s. It was fantastic, a real vindication of the art of what both men did. Gaines was pretty old even then, but still had it. |
