Mr. Seibert has learned nothing from his look into Paul Draper, and that is partly because one needs to be a lover of the fine arts to do that. Tap Was a solo invention, of and by dancers who were soloists. Hearing Caruso sing with a quartet will never let hear Caruso, hearing Fritz Kreitzler in. Blue grass home down with other violinists would never let us hear the power of a violist of genius, an d two tap dancers at once might as well be an avalanche. Tap is an intimate, fragile sound, and only a genius at it can make it an art, and not just a novelty.

@tracy Mr. Seibert knows a great deal about tap; in fact, he wrote the book! https://us.macmillan.com/books/9780374536510
