This is one of my best episodes so far. I feel so much gratitude that you are listening to this one. Thank you. On 8/25, the day before I was in a bike accident, I recorded episode #43. I connected my phone and microphone, and called tap dancer friends all around the country. Some answered including; Bril Barrett, Rush Benson, Sarah Reich, Evan Ruggiero, and Davon Suttles. Others who did not pick their phones were left voicemails including; Matt at Dancing Fair, Ricci Milan, Rusty Frank, Anthony LoCascio, and Ashley Gonzalez. Then on the next day, 8/26, I flew off of a bike, hit my head and broke some bones. I tell the story here at the beginning of this episode along with an update. Then you will hear my phone conversations originally recorded 8/25 and unreleased until now. I am thankful, grateful, and touched by your well-wishes, prayers, and generosity. It is a huge reason why I am healing so well. Thank you! https://www.gofundme.com/f/rick-ausland This episode features guitar by Andy Ausland.

BLACK LIVES MATTER. Period. This episode was recorded a month ago, days after the murder of George Floyd here in Minneapolis. It has been difficult to formulate the words that express how I feel. It has been difficult to find the words that I feel will be valuable to the conversation. I have been doing a lot of listening. I will continue to listen. I believe Black Lives Matter and that we all have a lot of work ahead of us. It is important to learn, to grow, to call people out when they are in the wrong, to speak up when you see racism or hear someone tell a racist joke. I added a link below to a document that I first saw on Dianne "Lady Di" Walker's Facebook page. Please check out this Anti-racism Resources Document: bit.ly/ANTIRACISMRESOURCES It contains a wealth of links to articles and websites to learn more about how you can help. BLACK PEOPLE CREATED TAP DANCING. Period. Please stop spreading lies and learn about tap's rich and vivid history. As tap dancers we have been given a beautiful gift. People fought and died to bring this dance to us. Learn about them and their stories. You will become a much better tap dancer every time you do. With this podcast it is my aim to continue to learn, amplify a diversity of voices, and bring people's stories to my world-wide audience. Questions? Comments? Ideas?

Evan Ruggiero aka 'Lord Pegleg' and I had an epic conversation that lasted over 3 hours last October. We talked about everything from working with Jason Mraz, to performing on the Ellen show, to beating Issac Hanson at pool, to a move he learned from Clayton 'Pegleg' Bates called the "airplane." We even nerded out with a 2-man beatbox rendition of "YYZ" by Rush. This episode is dedicated to Neil Peart.
