My Shim-Sham Shimmy
You may do extravagant Steps and fancy routines - one day you’ll go back to the old Shim-Sham. Perhaps you want to do it in a show or just straigthen out your students... Anyway, here are 2 versions of the routine: the classic standard version as everybody knows it and my personal mix of what a witnessed since I started tapping.
I first learned the Shim-Sham with Honi Coles & the Copasetics in the deep south (...of France). Later I did it with Henry LeTang, Buster Brown, Eddie Brown, and quite a few times on stage with the incomparable Chuck Green. They all had special tricks, specially for going from the third eight into the break - and that’s what my favourite version is about.
Have fun !
