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.
I thought he was called, "dancing Dave"? I have sensitive hearing and even sometimes at the beginning of a movie at a theater, they turn up the sound for ice cream ads, etc. - so I pop in some earplugs for a while. I would suggest that for the thread starter person. Something that bothers me (but I would NEVER complain about) is children crying - something about the high frequencies. Note: I guess children's crying must be or has been an positive evolving mechanism for early humans But, that IS just a speculation on my part?
