The experience of hosting a Cliburn competitor “has been life- changing,” she said. Godwin, the other first- time host, has one grown son and elderly parents nearby who have enjoyed dining with Hsu.“It’s so nice to have vitality in the house again,” Godwin said.

Godwin, who arrived in Arlington in 1. Meacham Field, was a piano major in college. She had never attended a Cliburn performance until this year and now she is a fan.“It’s amazing to watch,” she said.

For the feet stance, see Footedness. Goofy is a funny- animalcartoon character created in 1. Walt Disney Productions. Goofy is a tall, anthropomorphic dog with a Southern drawl, and typically wears a turtle neck and vest, with pants, shoes, white gloves, and a tall hat originally designed as a rumpled fedora. Goofy is a close friend of Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck and is one of Disney's most recognizable characters. He is normally characterized as extremely clumsy and dimwitted, yet this interpretation is not always definitive; occasionally Goofy is shown as intuitive, and clever, albeit in his own unique, eccentric way.
Goofy debuted in animated cartoons, starting in 1. Mickey's Revue as Dippy Dawg, who is older than Goofy would come to be. Later the same year, he was re- imagined as a younger dog, now called Goofy, in the short The Whoopee Party. During the 1. 93.

Mickey and his gang's animated shorts by this point routinely featured song and dance numbers. It begins as a typical Mickey cartoon of the time, but what would set this short apart from all that had come before was the appearance of a new character, whose behavior served as a running gag. Dippy Dawg, as he was named by Disney artists (Frank Webb), was a member of the audience. He constantly irritated his fellow spectators by noisily crunching peanuts and laughing loudly, till two of those fellow spectators knocked him out with their mallets (and then did the same exact laugh as he did).

The Studio's artists found that it had become easier coming up with new gags for Goofy or Donald than Mickey, to a point that Mickey's role had become unnecessary. Polar Trappers, first released on June 1.
