Will is and always has been an unstoppable spirit. Thanks to this filmmaker for "getting" him so completely. Why don't you just keep doing these shorts about as many tap dancers as you can find? Your style is wonderful, respectful and very cool. Great film! Great dancer!

Very privileged to have made music with this man. Will is a legend.

Will is a pal of mine for 30 years now. He is one of the nicest guys I have had the honor and pleasure to be friends with. Way to go Will: John

I was busking under a bridge - years ago in Southend-on-Sea, with my St. Bernard, Monte. He came up and introduced himself, and danced to some old Jazz/blues tunes. Happy days!

It's very hard to find clips of Will on youtube. This clip is great (especially that it's on the web), but it's nothing compared to what one can find (hopefully) in any Research 1 school media library. Only 700-and something views this clip...that amazes me. Will is a wonderful spirit pinned by the devil with strips of metal bound to his heels. Gaines...destined to always be a tin-man.

Thank you so much for this clip. I've felt alone in my appreciation of Will Gaines since I found him when I was smoking pot in my college library's media center. This is such a great clip. Thanks.
