More of Boozoo in action at his Dog Hill Residence in Lake Charles, LA on Labor Day, 1995. Top picture shows him with all the D.C. and Baltimore dancers who ventured down. Second frame shows Boozoo with the pretty women, Lois and Marjorie Lefkowitz, either giving or receiving dance lessons. Last frame shows Boozoo's scarecrow (made in his own image - you be the judge) out behind the ranch in the garden next to the chickens and farm animals. It's not hard to see where Boozoo gets the inspiration for his songs with all the barking and braying. Photographs by: Bob Sova and unknown
