And yeah sometimes he'll get a little over-enthused with certain songs and do the "one two three!" loud enough to be heard on the other side of the square. The baton was given to him by a fan. The largest thing in his backpack is a gallon of water, which he pours into a cup and drinks from while he's there.

He comes almost every night, and says that his dancing is how he keeps fit (and it you'd actually get a look at him - he's very fit).


Most people just assume he's a little crazy and avoid him but some folks actually take a few moments out of their lives to talk to him and learn better.

My opinion of squares in general, as long s he don’t make headline news not in my generalization category.
