This is not a history of tap dancing. It is one determined
woman's highly personal account of falling in love with and
living the tap life. One of the linchpins behind the Great
Tap Revival of the 1970s and 80s, Jane Goldberg tracked
down, studied with, and performed alongside some of the tap
greats of the twentieth century. In the process, she came
up with a genre all her own-"Rhythm & Schmooze." A
romantic, Goldberg thought tap dancing would provide the
most direct route to finding a partner like Fred Astaire.
It did not, she discovered quickly. What she did discover,
however, were her happy feet. Those feet, combined with
great tenacity and endless curiosity, led her to ferret out
a generation of show biz hoofers who had involuntarily gone
underground. "Shoot Me While I'm Happy"-the title comes
from an old vaudeville expression-captures a wealth of
memories both wacky and touching.
