Monticello, New York - Muffler Man - Tie-dye with a fish

I can confirm the Monticello muffler man. He is on Pleasant Street, in front of a fish store. He's been around the area for quite a while; I forget where he started out, but for a while he had a normal shirt and an ax in his hands. (By the way, his hands are correct, right up and left down) Then his shirt was painted in tie-dye (Monticello is only a few miles from the ORIGINAL Woodstock!). He now holds a large fish in his hands. [Elizabeth McAllister, 10/04/2000]
