Update 10-25-2018 from Al:
This was the first year that I haven’t been on the road with the dancing horses and I finally retired at the age of 80 at the advice of my doctor after I had suffered 11 broken bones in my 66 years of showing my horses. My last show was in April 2018, in Indianapolis, Indiana. After that, I just got so bored that I purchased a night-club so I could keep on with my music. If anyone wants to look at me at the age of 80 go to https://www.facebook.com/ragazeenandcompany/ or https://www.facebook.com/al.ragusin/ on Facebook.
