/>I received an email regarding this picture. Here it is:</p><p>Some good shots there but you really should change one caption.  The one about the &#8220;drunk guy&#8221; with the top hat.  I know that guy.  He&#8217;s not drunk.  He&#8217;s old.  Very old; mid 80&#8242;s.  I don&#8217;t know his name but he&#8217;s commonly referred to as the &#8220;Dancing Man&#8221;.  You&#8217;ll see him anywhere there&#8217;s music; especially outdoor festivals.  And I recall him doing this when I was young in the late &#8217;80&#8242;s.  When I was working as a bartender at that time at a place that had Jazz on Sundays.  He was always there dancing.</p><p>And I&#8217;ve seen him lately at the Laff and he doesn&#8217;t drink (that I saw).  He just really likes to dance and he&#8217;s a sweet old guy and unless you know for a fact that he was falling down drunk, for accuracy sake &#8211; not to mention it&#8217;s rather slanderous &#8211;  I&#8217;d suggest you change the caption.</p><p>Thanks,<br
