A Sunday-Worship Tap Dance


St. John Will-I-Am Coltrane African Orthodox Church in San Francisco.  June 15, 2008: The people are singing, drummer and stand-up bassist are poundin' with two robed saxophonists rockin' and the white player's dreads (down to his ankles) are swayin'.  In the audience, an older gentleman stands and moves from his seat to the aisle.  He places a small, wood pallet on the floor, steps on, and begins to shuffle his feet--a tap dance.  Someone from the front rushes to his side to hold a microphone near his feet.  Hallelujah!
