Bill “Bojangles” Robinson and His Inimitable Stair Dance
Early in his dancing career, Bill “Bojangles” Robinson performed on a custom double staircase that added drama to his act, increasing his visibility to the audience while amplifying the sound of every step he made.
“As generations of imitators would learn to their grief, the properties of the staircase that magnified Robinson’s mastery equally magnify the slightest imperfection,” Brian Seibert, in his book What the Eye Hears, wrote. “Dancers tell a story in which he had his musicians cut out for three and a half minutes while he continued dancing. After the allotted time, the musicians came back in, cued by a metronome that Robinson couldn’t hear. He was exactly on beat.”

You are BRILLIANT. Never let anyone tell you that you’re not, including yourself. Because every facet of who you are is worth keeping free from toxic, including tobacco. 💎

August, 1945. A billboard at Oak Ridge Facility in Tennessee warns people to keep silent about anything they see or hear there. Oak Ridge was a town built in 1942 to house workers and the laboratory that developed the Manhattan Project – the secret second world war program that built the atomic bomb. [G]

My theory is that no one has ever started strava when they actually start the thing they want to track with strava, always half way through.
