Sometime during the 1990's , a couple of  minor league chancers on the music scene - Alan Whittle and David Forbes, devised a brilliant idea for world domination.  Stalin had his Five Year Plan - Alan and Dave came up with:-
BUSTER THE LINE DANCING DAWG

Play Big Al's version of Buster

The plot was fiendishly simple in essence. 
Everybody knew country music fans liked cavorting about in a Nuremberg Rally goes to Nashville style called line dancing.  They all loved dog songs.
 
There had been Old Shep, Old Tige and Huckleberry Hound.  the lads felt they were onto a winner and in no time there would be a Busterworld theme park like Dollywood.
 
How could we fail....? 
 
Well of course as history records - fail they did.  However (as they say in TIME LIFE ads) you relive those glory days when Buster was the great canine hope of country music.
 
Our great friend Jack Hudson recorded another version for us, and this one got into the Euro country airplay charts, was included on a couple of samplers - but sadly no made no money for us.  However some where in deep outback of Australia, there is a dj who plays it continually - on the understanding that we don't claim any PRS money. 

At last a chance to hear the great Jack Hudson sing BUSTER the LINE DANCING DAWG!

Play Buster the Yank version

 

There is now a small cult around Buster and there is an official Buster Line Dance called Busters Bonesearch choreographed by Tex Waite, the line dance supremo from Stockport.
