Rep Power: 3 Rep.: 168 | Re: MJ Hall of Fame - Robert Austin If you are talking about the origins of the modern jive then one has to read the "LE ROC" handbook , this should answer many of the popular misconceptions..It is a very enlightening read..I have a copy, but am not prepared to quote chapter and verse from it........I believe its author should be in the hall of fame. What say you????? |

And, to get back on thread. I think Robert Austin also wrote a book about Modern Jive. Is there anything else anyone has to add about Robert Austin?
