John Britten was a Kiwi legend of the late 20th century whose distinctive hand-built pink-and-blue motorcycle broke four world speed records and reached iconic status worldwide. Tragically, he died of cancer at just 45. Eight years later, Dare to Dream tells the inside story of the world’s most innovative motorbike - and the man, his family, and the friends who made the dream of winning the world’s toughest motorcycle races come true. John Britten’s passion for building his own motorbike and determination to succeed are legendary but there was even more to the man. He was at once a devoted family man, a tireless enthusiast, party animal and charismatic boy who had refused to grow up.

Compiled by musician/folklorist Mike Seeger and dancer Ruth Pershing, "Talking Feet" introduces us to dancers from the Appalachian, Piedmont, and Blue Ridge Mountain regions of the South. In its various forms--flatfooting, buckdancing, hoedown, rural tap or clogging--Southern dancing involves a great deal of personal style and innovation as dancers create the rhythm of old-time country music--talking blues, bluegrass, hand-patting and western swing. Traditionally, people have danced at corn shuckings, apron hemmings, weddings, and house parties. Nowadays, clog dancers compete at festivals and competitions. Talking Feet is a precious record of the experience of old-timers and an inspiration to younger enthusiasts who want to absorb the tradition and make it their own.
