It's not every day that you drive down Main Street and see somebody playing full-on heavy metal air guitar, but that's what I saw today in front of T-Shirt's Etc. on Main Street.

It was Dancing Derrick, whom I've never heard of before, but apparently he is well known in the region. Several people honked their horns and shouted out, "Hey, Derrick" as they drove past.

Derrick, a Holly resident, said he's trying to make a career of dancing in front of businesses as a promotional attraction. T-Shirts Etc. owner Brian Kemp confirmed he hired Dancing Derrick to draw attention to his store.

UPDATE: Here's a video from YouTube of Dancing Derrick.

Dancing Derrick is a great guy, funny to watch. I believe he was on America's Got Talent too, never made it far, but still.

I saw him there this afternoon, nearly rear ended the car in front of me, and I think the person behind me nearly did the same!
What a way to make a living, wish I has thought of it!

he seems to be such a very happy/positive person . I've honked and waved at him several times and his face just lights up! He appeared on So you think you can Dance at least 2 years in a row.
