Glad you enjoyed it! Pete Hamill talks about a symbiotic relationship between Irish and African music going back to the 5 Points neighborhood, where they lived side by side. He says that's how tap dancing started, blacks dancing to Irish jigs. :)
"Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing."
