OMG! I LOVE IT! Is this an updated video? This is wonderful because a lot of our legends are leaving us. My son is a 14 year old hoofer and he has had the opportunity to perform for the Late Dr. Jimmy Slyde and has left us recently, so when I looked at Brownie on that chair doing his thing that just blew me away. I want to thank you for adding this video to youtube.

We should all live such a good life that we have such a good caregiver as this young man is to Brownie :)
