We watched "America's Got Talent" last night - recorded from Tuesday night - and this guy was REALLY good ... kind of "out of nowhere" ... a struggling musician outta Chicago ... has that "Billy Joel" style of story telling that is very emotive ... doubt he'll be strugglin' much longer ... enjoy!

Roarer

I just want to see that dancing dog again!!

But when the daily remit is multiple short hops between tiny bumpy strips in a climate that flickers from the blustery to the apocalyptic, this sturdy little craft is hard to beat.'

I guess when you're just "4" years old, that would be the most important ... eh?

It was on one of the UK ones and was called Gin - never watch them though, only came across it by accident.

And yes, Dancing dogs ALL THE WAY please!!



You really should see them all at Crufts, a true spectacle!

AMAZING!!!

The judges were going on that they had never seen anything like it before, etc etc, but it isn't unusual . I they had ever been to Crufts or seen it on the T.V. they would know.

Gin and the girl (whatever her name was ) got to the final round, but, to be honest with you, I think it was more for novelty value, even though I'd have voted for them to win!

Anyway, if you can, you should see the great Mary Ray doing her routines with her dogs. Fantastic!

Also, I am sure there are better videos of this, but this, bu this is about all I can find at the moment.

This is the Southern golden Retreiver Display Team. I saw this very display, and I can tell you that it was absolutely amazing! Just a pity the video isn't, but, erm anyway ....

Anyway, apologies for the quality:

I still prefer this guys' singing though ... I love dogs, but great music is a panacea!
